As far as it making the house look smaller, I think it does the opposite, it's almost like the door disappears, while the other colors pop, and become the focus. I know for me it was scary at first, and when I told my husband what I wanted he thought I was bonkers, then I showed him some pictures and he changed his mind right away. I would totally photoshop a few of your doors to get an idea of what it would look like, you might be pleasantly surprised! Thanks so much for stopping by. I'm so glad I got to "meet" you!<br />-LaurenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12948006589284371493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569154235371547270.post-70543041301936345462012-05-24T10:40:19.710-04:002012-05-24T10:40:19.710-04:00Most importantly: OMGoodness.

My front door (exterior) and garage door have written me letters asking to be repainted. A few might have come from the neighbors, too. (Totally kidding. Phew!) I know, know, know I want the outside front door painted black. Super sophisticated and I toyed with the idea of the inside of it, as well. But...with my flooring (which is very unlike your wood floors of gorgeousness), I think I would end up not loving it, especially throughout the house. It's not a super big house and would be afraid it would make the space feel smaller. (???) Or I could be totally wrong. (???) Much like the center of a tootsie pop, the world may never know. And...I think my hub would think I flipped my lid. (Maybe I'm just chicken to do the work, find out it DOESN'T work, then have to "fix" it. Ugh. Hmmm...Photoshop mock-up time.)<br /><br />That said...for those who can do it and it comes out as awesome as YOURS...fabulous. Your entryway, for sure, just pops. Really anchors the space and makes it feel grand.<br /><br />Btw...I think we both have a thing for chevron. Just a little bit. ;)Gail@Sophisticated Stepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17173434362142173898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569154235371547270.post-46489436934648202992012-04-19T08:15:58.161-04:002012-04-19T08:15:58.161-04:00Hi Heather- Thanks for stopping by to say hello! I...Hi Heather- Thanks for stopping by to say hello! I had been working on a kitchen and bath design degree at the local community college, because they don't offer interior design in our county, after a few semesters I realized that my true passion is interior design(as if I didn't know), so I am working on setting everything up to transfer to a neighboring county that offers the degree program. I am going to take as many classes as I can locally, and then I will transfer. I am also looking into doing an internship with some local designers to gain some more hands on experience. If you find anything online please let me know! I love your blog! So glad you found me!<br />-LaurenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12948006589284371493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569154235371547270.post-53434865876252578882012-04-11T12:15:28.575-04:002012-04-11T12:15:28.575-04:00that door so needed to be black right there. awes...that door so needed to be black right there. awesome.the cape on the cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01283196154486318371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569154235371547270.post-68024326326056923792012-04-03T08:42:37.584-04:002012-04-03T08:42:37.584-04:00Hi Lauren - this space is so beautiful - what a gr...Hi Lauren - this space is so beautiful - what a great job you and your husband did!!

I thought...I was thinking no to the wreath as well. I thought it might be nice to add some texture, but I think having the circle of the wreath + the circle mirror would be a little crazy. I already have a lot going on in this area.
