That doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be bold, just something that catches your eye and makes a statement. I try to add something interesting to every room in my home, which I think is why my front door has always bothered me.

While oil rubbed bronze hardware doesn’t really show up on a black door {and truthfully, brass on a black door is my favorite}, I’m not currently in a position where I want to change it or paint it, so I’m going to leave it as-is and live with the look for a while. So, I thought adding the house number to the front door might clear things up a bit!
I might also paint my existing planter and move it from the far side of the porch to be near the door and help tie the look together. Provided that the weather holds and that the kids are occupied, this is what I’ll be doing this weekend!
