Front Doors Say Hello When You Aren't Home

Front doors are the first impression that visitors and passersby get of your home. 

 We all make instant judgments about a home's interior when we see the front door,

just like we do about a person we first meet.  If you want to make a good first

impression, you should make sure your front door is attractive and welcoming.

I have a fascination with front doors.  I  drive by homes and look at the front door

or front entry.  I love to see a home with a touch of personality or a piece of artwork

displayed by the front  door that lets me know a little bit more about them.

Do they like animals?  Are they proud of their home? Does everything appear to be

in good repair?

This front door reminds me of castle. I saw several doorways similar to

this in England inside castle walls.

Holidays and seasonal decorating are especially fruitful for my voyeuristic entertainment. 

 I especially like the his and hers well-dressed scarecrows guarding this front door.

I agree completely. I have even recommended sellers spicing up the front door with a new coat of paint or stain. Great post!
