Modern House Minimalist Design

Good morning! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Ours was actually quite nice, found some time to spend with good friends, got to take a long walk with Teddy, started reading a new book and of course there was plenty of "house biz" to contend with. Not to mention I was sitting on the edge of my seat with all this craziness happening in Washington! While there is so much I don't agree with, I am VERY relieved that an agreement was reached as the alternative in my eyes would have been catastrophic for our country. I am sure the markets will show their appreciation today! Now onto the fun part....... What makes a more pronounced statement then your front door entrance? To me, it is the anchor of the house and one that can be enhanced by doing so many things. Everything from adding a pair of planters, to growing ivy on the facade, adding small amounts of statuary, a wreath, a beautiful knocker, placing a pair of stately outdoor sconces or a lantern at your entrance, etc.....

I’ve always had a weakness for beautiful front doors. I came across these pictures of French front doors I wanted to share with you today.     French LXV styled door, walnut.     French LXIV styled door, oak.   French door “de Provence”, walnut.   Antique French farm house front door.   Typical French “door de Provence”. My favorite!!   Painted country house door.
