I always love coming to my home town of Vancouver in the summer. There is such a variety of architectural styles of homes throughout this great city and I couldn't help but notice all the different "doors" that stood out to me around the neighborhood where I grew up. I believe that creating a peaceful welcoming home starts with your front door. It's the focal point of your homes exterior and can definitely show pride of ownership if it's well maintained. Here are some examples of doors that are unique and create interest as soon as you see it.
 |
| 1. This is a fairly new home. I love the stone archway, however it still needs some colorful flowers on either side of the door to brighten it up. |
 |
| 2. I love a red door |
 |
| 3. Here's another red door |
 |
| 4. Nice arched doorway with brick work |
 |
| 5. Another arched doorway, this one has an awning |
 |
| 6. This door way is clean and has good balance |
 |
| 7. This is not my taste but I thought it was different |
 |
| 8. |
 |
| 9. This is a beautiful house with great curb appeal. The window to the side of the door is pretty unique. |
 |
| 10. This house has great curb appeal. I like the light fixture hanging from the archway. |
 |
| 11. |
 |
| 12. Here's a contemporary door. The round pots and flowers on the wall soften up the straight lines of the door and steps. |
 |
| 13. Check out this castle! |
 |
| 14. I love all the pots and flowering vines. |
 |
| 15. Another castle house! |
 |
| 16. Not my favorite but different |
 |
| 17. I love this one! |
 |
| 18. I love this one too! It just needs some flowers to make it more welcoming. |
 |
| 19. |
 |
| 20. Love this large doorway with all the pots and flowers. |

9 & 10 are my favorite! I like the rustic yet elegant feel to #9. 10 is very open and welcoming. Thanks for sharing. These are really great pics.
ReplyDelete9, 10, 14, and 20 are my favorite. I agree with you I like #1, but it needs flowers.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures and thanks for such fantastic ideas. I agree the entrance is the first impression!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let you know too you have to drive by a house just one or two houses down from my parents house in Vancouver. It is the most ornate door I have ever seen since Thailand!
Beautiful doors. I love the character of these homes as well. Just gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAwesome pics...they really make you want to see more of the houses, inside and out. Barb
