The September 2012 issue of House Beautiful features eleven fabulous front doors from the likes of Miles Redd, Windsor Smith and Lars Bolander…having just completed a major outdoor renovation this summer, I thought it would be fun to feature my front door today! Freshly painted with a coat of high gloss blank paint and adorned with an antique English door knocker, its masculine weight provides a lovely contrast to the beachy bramble colored shingles and clean white trim…the lantern is a new addition to our door-scape…during the day, it offers a much needed sculptural presence, balancing well with the color and texture of the twig wreath…at night, it glows with a soft warm light, perfect for drinks at the cafe table or for welcoming dinner guests!
Lovely entry Danielle! The high gloss black is stunning on your door with the antique
knocker. Also, like the stained wood ceiling of the porch. It’s the perfect balance with the gray and white.
Can we have some more information on that interesting lantern? What material is that made of? Is it a candle inside of a glass chimney in the interior? Is it old or new? Where did you find it?
Someone’s knocking at the door someone’s ringing the bell…..
Most beautiful door and surroundings! BIG LIKE!
