I have several weather-resistant red bows, but none of them match, or are even the same size, so I chose just one, for the side the mail slot is NOT on.
Let me pull back a little and show the nice federalist broken pediment over the door, very popular in the thirties. (Broken in more than one sense: needs caulking baaaaad!)
And a little farther: most of the house front.
What a stately and attractive entrance, and I'm impressed by use of "Federalist" and "pediment"--sounds like you know quite a bit about architecture.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that info and the lovely pictures!
What a welcoming entry!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are happy in your new home.
I love your door decoration.... and your entrance. In fact, the whole front of your house is very appealing.
ReplyDeleteIt is a pleasure to come home from work to that door four or five days a week (however often I walk.) The farther along I get with the unpacking saga the more I enjoy the house.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are enjoying your new home. I really like your decoration. One of the tenants in the office building has silver bells about that size on her door (probably plastic) and every time I go past, I want to see if they ring. So far I have resisted.
ReplyDeleteThese bells have gold balls inside them for clappers, and being from the sixties they're glass, not plastic, so I can tell you from experience that they go "plink plink" when you swing them.
ReplyDeleteAlthough when the wind swings them you hear more "scratch scratch" from the wicker.
