Whenever we go to a home improvement store, I like to go to the section where they display all of the different kinds of entry doors they sell. I like to imagine how each one would look on my fantasy home. Doors say a lot about the family that lives inside the house!
Up until recently, the importance of doors in a house was vastly under appreciated by me. I went to visit a friend recently whose house was not quite “finished.” They had no doors on the inside of the house yet. Not even a bathroom door. They had a curtain hung across the doorways of the rooms for visual privacy, but you could just forget any kind of conversation privacy! It really struck me how much I take doors in a house for granted!
I really like the glass doors in our house. We have glass storm doors on our house, and I like them because we can lock the glass door for security but open the main door to let in the light if we want to. Our pets appreciate that because then they can sit in front of the glass doors and look outside quite easily. Our dog always makes sure that she alerts us when she sees a squirrel, or cat, or deer, or fox crossing our lawn.
I really love the look of French Doors. Those are my very favorite kind of doors. We have French Doors going out to our deck in the back yard. I just think there is a feeling of luxury, or maybe romance, to have two doors open like that. I don’t know how to describe it, I just like it! Perhaps it triggers some kind of memory of a romantic Hollywood movie or romantic television show, I really don’t know.
