Darling,
The front door looks fine. I'd get rid of the green trim at the top of the door, replace the numerals with some that were designed by Nelson, replace the mailbox with the sweet red model shown (no decal), replace the door mat, and hang up a hub cap.
Your friend,
Aunt Mark

The door...
...is unfortunately worse than it looks!
I actually would keep it, but, 1 of 3 glass panels doesn't match and its pretty flimsy. I'm not trying to match the house (1906 Victorian) but its definitely doesn't 'go' with the outside.
The green trim is going to be painted black, a black enamel pendant light will replace the light, and the rug is only temporary for Faustus to lounge on.
Thanks for the advice on the numbers!
Heh-heh
No, the door definitely doesn't belong on a Victorian. Perhaps modernist house numerals don't either ? Still, they'd be a clue to the taste of the current occupant, I guess.
By all means put a bird on it !
(PS -- the standard letterspacing of 1465 shown leaves an uncomfortable space after the first figure. Adjusted [hand] spacing would correct that.)
Best wishes. Steve
What a lovely facade.
So, can I bring along waffle and SDR? I'll bring a batch-o-hooch-and gin, including all ingredients to crank out a few rounds of French75's (Stork Club?) and a small staff to assist us. We'll smoke outside, drink foolishly, and dance until the vinyl melts.
Best,
Aunt Mark
