Doors Of Vancouver Part 2

Yippee, it's summer and once again I am fortunate to come back to my home town of Vancouver. As I drive around the city and look at all the houses, I notice the wide variety of styles, which is such a nice change from some of those "cookie cutter" neighborhoods in Florida. Here are some top picks from my drive around the city this year.

1. Here is an older home that has cleaned up it's curb appeal and added some nice black accents that go well with the grey and blue door.

I like that the owner's decided on a not so typical color for their front door. It is very welcoming, calming and makes me want to see the inside. I wouldn't suggest this color for a door if you are planning on selling as not everyone wants a blue door, but for living...I love it!

                                             

2. Here's another example of a homeowner being bold and choosing a different door color. I would add some planters with flowers and probably would have chosen a door color that goes with the exterior house color better... but, it's different.

3. I love the archway and the deep rich wood of the door. I would add a few more flowers to brighten it up.

4.This one has an interesting curved roof line and the nice arched doorway. 

  

5. Here's a classic heritage style home. I like the big wide steps leading up to the door.  The shrubs could use some cleaning up and as always...more flowers!

6. This yard is well taken care of and has a nice welcoming entrance with the hanging baskets and planters on either sides of the door. However, I would remove the trees that are blocking the front of the windows and plant them somewhere else.

7. This house has it all. Nice stone work, nice arched doorway and flowers.

8. I like the buttery color of this home. It goes well with the wooden door and white trim. It even has the flowers!

9. This is a  house that I would want to see on the inside. It's hard to tell how the door is from the picture but it's a great entryway.

10. This home has potential for some great curb appeal. All it needs is some cleaning up around the shrubs. I like the detail around the door. See below for a close up of door.

As you can see, these homes have their own unique qualities and got my attention from the curb. Do you have a favorite? Mine are #7 and #10.
