Description
One of the bits of my house we never get round to decorating, as it is a waste of time.
The dogs scratch to get in whilst I shut the outside door, the paint gets knocked on a daily basis by stuff like luggage and furniture coming in and going out, and the house is rarely empty for long enough to allow the paint to dry in such a busy area !
So it remains the epitome of fashionably distressed. I believe this sort of mess is called shabby chic.....
See the view looking the other way Here which is very much shabbier!

Cool !!

The golden door handle, mail slot and the three locks are very impressive additions.
Appears the door has stood up to many kinds of nicks and bangs over the years indeed !

I like both photos - yep! there are some places where it just doesn't make sense to do much more that attempt to keep it clean and relatively clutter-free

Quite a contrast between the door and the virtually pristine window on the left and the molding on the right.

HA! As if I would bother polishing my kitchen window outside or the sunroom door every day. Pjuske, the very furry cat, is making funny noices severel times a day with his wet paws on those windows to get our attention. WOOP! WOOP! WOOP! It says, when he is washing windows, so you can imagine how they look :) We are his door-persons, whenever he wants to pass.

Excellent lighting and atmosphere.

yep, porch doors are the ornery rejects of the house set. And they don't care. They stand their ground, their proud of their grime and scratches, and they'll take on any architectural element, any day, any place. Clean 'm up, they'll get dirty on their own. The pic is just right. And I love the circular patterns in the panes. Just the right shot for the subject.
(And btw: I want you to know that I don't have one space---not one---for wood, in my apt. Not even a cubby hole. Wood planks and logs don't play a major role in high rise living. That's one way in which our lives differ heavily: No wood shed in my place.)

Over here we call this sort of space a mud room, for obvious reasons!
