I always laugh when I see dogs that look like their owners. Chihuahuas and models. Pitbulls and bikers. Poodles and rich old women. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, but sometimes, the choice in a pet is such an unconscious and telling description of who you really are...
The same can be said for your front door. It's the first thing people see when they look at your house. In a way, it's a conjecture of who lives inside. If I see a $5000 stainless steel Neoporte door, I immediately think…modernist with expendable income. A vintage salvaged door…maybe an artist or designer. Quirky holiday lights says festive and fun. And a door with a "No Solicitors" sign? Well, that's a no brainer…curmudgeon who hates puppies and babies, for sure.
What does my front door look like? Absolutely plain and boring. What does your front door say about you?

Mine is gloss black w/scuffed white door frame and a sign that says "beware of dog" in french "Attention Chien Bizarre" which is funny because my dog is bizarre and the french rap group bizzare chien is the worst band in the history of ever.

I'm with Lizzy. I want a pug and the stainless door is great. Looks like an elevator or a big stainless fridge.

I'm not sure what a "no solicitors" sign has to do with puppies or babies. I have yet to see either one soliciting!
My front door says I need a face lift! :(
