Designing Our Front Doors: house update

Hello and welcome back to talking about our "house reno's" and this time it is all about the custom made front entry doors.

Well, they are not made yet, but being designed and in 10 weeks or so, we will enjoy them tremendously.

It has been hard, because we do have a nice front door at the moment in our house but I have always preferred the double opening 14th century look over any doors and so what can you do?

Our Front Doors Now

The Doors we are having made OR
Our Future Doors - French Louis XIV
presented by Greete Lefevre
of BELGIAN PEARLS



Well, we are making a few changes and they will be made from walnut, and they will not be arched at the top...just wait and see ...I can't describe it yet! And there will be stone placed on the walls around the doors...lots to do...

But what is important, that Lefevre Interiors had a huge impact on the design with the details that Greete posted on her blog...from her living room renovation project...how stunning is the wood work and our door maker will bring some of it into our new door appearance, which makes me very incredibly happy!

I just LOVE this meticulous work and beautiful design with perfection in wood cutting by Lefevre Interiors!

We are working on this project without a doubt, this is a picture of the door handle by Rocky Mountain that I have selected ...they will be longer in size and on both doors front and back made from dark bronze that will become just gently gold in colour BUT only in places where most touched...how poetic..am I still talking about locks and doors here?...smiles!

LET's get started...with this review of entry doors...Here are some images I have saved on my "door searching" journey and I hope that you will enjoy them too, let me know your favourite and what you like in front doors!

Finding the right NEW front entry door with our amazing Italian "guy" who gets it...the way old European villa doors should be....looking for walnut doors...can't wait!
