Our new home was the long time home of Helene Hammond, one of my mom's dearest friends, and our families have many memories together. It was very special to me that we could call "Mimi's House"....our house. The front door was a beautiful door and looked like something the Hammond Family would love. We decided to change the door and then make sure that SOMEONE in the Hammond family...one of the grandkids perhaps...could have their Mimi's door!!! In trying to keep with the "flavour" of Mimi's house, we wanted to leave the wrought iron front gate and we just replaced her "H" with our "J".
Along with replacing the front door, we also replaced the sliding glass doors with French doors. None of these things are going to look their best until we can paint the complete exterior of the house....and we won't be ready to do that until after the new year. Any suggestions for colors???
I love a black front door that you can embelish with metals of your choice, such as a heavy knocker or hammered hardware - some things you can find at architectural boneyards or you can locate new ones on the net. I think the black would tie your iron gate together as your entrance ~ just a thought (I have lots of those)
