The old door:
Greer knew about it ahead of time but it was a surprise for me. So we spent an hour or so picking out a door we love and all the little details about it. We ask for it primed but not painted so we could pick our own custom color. It was due to arrive in about 4 weeks, but it came within 2!
So last Saturday we spent some time pulling out the old door and replacing it with the new, gorgeous, window-y one. And by "we" I mean Greer and Dad.
The light makes such a difference in the living room and stairway corner.
A little blurry but you get the idea.
Oh by the way, the antique record cabinet is nearly finished. Post coming soon!
I love walking downstairs in the morning to a bright sunrise, or turning on the porch lights at night for the home-y glow to float in.
I am completely undecided on a front door color. I would love a bold, Mediterranean blue door...

I dig the rosey pink but I'm not sure sure Greer will appreciate it. I hadn't thought of lime green until my Google search for "colorful front door" but I do really like it! It's a nice change from yellow, which I love but everyone is doing. My challenge is figuring how to balance a bright, colorful door with a gray house with brick-colored shutters. I wish I could wave a wand and change all the colors!
You'll have to come back to see what color we choose!
