Design Obsession - Front Doors

I love front doors, period. 


They make the first and most important design statement to anyone who enters. Not only does it welcome your visitors, it sets the stage to what follows next, like the preview to a movie, the first beat in a song. Although we are not doing any exterior work for now, the front doors will be getting a facelift!

Over the course of a few months now, I have been researching different front door ideas, here are a few that I had really liked...

Crestview Doors make really cool door kits that you can purchase on-line and install in your own interior or exterior doors. I am obsessed with them! All you have to do is purchase flush panel doors from any hardware store, and install these kits (each kit consist of inset frames and either glass or plexiglass) in which our GC had helped us with.

Another obsession of mine from the DWR catalogue has been the Neutra House Numbers. For years I had these on my wish list, but what I was missing was the perfect house to install them on!

omnia industries - love the simplicity of these!

Stay Tuned!
