Door

The entrance to your home should give a taster of what is within. Even if your home is a small apartment in a tower block or on a large parcel of land, the entrance is important.
Here is an example of a set of double doors leading in from the street pavement yet the effort and workmanship is evident. I almost want to slide my hand across the wood and across all the embellishments.

Your entrance may not be as grand but one could add a potted plant, stain or paint your door, add a new doormat in keeping with your decor. You could consider adding an old door-knocker - it doesn't have to be for any other reason than you like it - totally decorative. How about finger plates -the old antique brass handles not only look great but are very practical. Reclamation yards tend to have marvelous small and large items, although it does mean getting your hands dirty as you pull and dig your way through treasures and tat.
Well worth it!
