Painted Front Doors

I love a brightly painted front door.  Do I think they're right right for every house...no.  Unfortunately, with our multi-tone brick, a cheery front door would just look weird.  If my brick were a solid tone, I'd be on it like white on rice...or maybe the better phrase would be like red on a cherry...or yellow on a lemon. 

Painted brick and a bright front door are definitely on my home-owning bucket list, though.  In the meantime, I'll just dream...

The Traditional Tudor

Hands down I would always choose the aesthetic of an older home over a new home.  I love the luxuries that come with the interiors of many new homes, but new homes just don't have the "lived in" charm that many older homes have.  Not long ago I was in Dallas running errands and drove through a neighborhood mainly filled with older homes, specifically many tudor style homes.  I love the rounded front doors that are common in tudor style homes.  They just seem so inviting.  Here are several which are currently on the Dallas real estate market.  I chose to share these homes based on the exteriors--proceed at you own risk to look at their interiors~
