Anyone else love front doors?

[KimWexlerGoodman]

Does anyone else have a thing for front doors? I just love looking at front doors, sounds random but I love architecture and interior design, my favourite would be a Victorian timber door, especially in pretty colours. I’d love to have a Victorian house worthy of a beautiful stained glass front door but alas we live in a 1970s build and it wouldn’t look quite right. I follow Gelata doors on instagram and they post some beautiful doors like this one 😍 Just wondered if anyone else is like this or just me?

the glass & cast iron doors that are much more common in the US

Surely not cast iron? That would rust. Wrought iron?

Your door sounds immense! Do you have pics? Is it natural wood or painted?

Which door is it @PropertyGuy- the one on the left or the one on the right 😉

Yes! I love period properties (Edwardian especially, which gratefully is my property) and this front door is gorgeous!

It’s none of my business how others decorate their homes but I always find it disappointing when people remove doors with character to put up those more modern dark grey doors.

I like front doors as well as architectural features and building materials. I’ve been known to sneak out under cover of darkness to acquire random bricks I’ve seen abandoned. I also like street furniture like postboxes etc. we had the glass replaced in our front door when we moved here to a London Victorian terrace. It was completely plain and is now glorious, traditional stained glass. People often assume it’s original.

Is it double glazed? Our ugly uPVC door and side light have Pilkington obscured glass daisy pattern. One of my cheaper ideas is to replace with clear glass so that I can then use window film. There are so many pretty window films I could change it up when I feel like it! Currently love reeded glass. But I also have plans for this one on my shed window:

I love a beautiful or interesting door. I get intrigued just what may be behind it. My favourite pastime. My camera roll is full of doors

@KimWexlerGoodman I like that naturey film. Here’s my front door before and after

A company called “Art of Glass” repaired some our cracked stained glass they are based in Penge South East London might be useful if anyone looking to restore/replace also a reclaimed door stockist “dulwich reclamation” shop in Kirkdale just off Sydenham High Street.

Is he single! 😂

Love this!

You can’t beat a gorgeous door with a gorgeous Christmas wreath on it! Where I used to live there were plenty of doors like this so I too have a dedicated folder of photos of the doors and Christmas wreaths just of that area. I intended to make it into a Christmas card on moonpig or something, but wasn’t sure if recipients would share my appreciation!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The door love was one of the many many many faults I wouldn't wish on another female. I pity the woman he's engaged to.

I love a nice front door and want a Gelatta door when we do our extension in the next few years. I originally wanted a reclaimed one but then saw theirs and fell in love. My current front door is just an 80s upvc job, was faded red as it faces south but I painted it a sunny yellow and love it so much. We get loads of comments from friends when I post photos of it when I show new door wreaths

We just treat it with oil/varnish every few years, it’s inside our porch so doesn’t get any weather on it.
I can only find this pic taken from inside our hallway when we were selling a coat stand! But it sort of shows the door and the original side panels.

That glass is beautiful, so much better now!

That looks like a very good quality, very solid door, good choice!

Omg I love love love that 30s sun ray pattern. I grew up in a 30s semi with original stained glass but it wasn’t so gorgeous as sun ray.

love doors got a big lot on pinterest some really lovely doors i think the old ones are stunning with the stained glass
