Walking along the street in Glen Park, we came upon this fantastic entryway to a house. Where there would normally be a gate there is instead a front door, painted this bold shade of yellow...
Look! Front Door Gate
We love the idea of adding a full front door at the entry of a gate, and furthermore painting it such a striking color. Interesting entryways can make all the difference in a city with so many homes, one after another. We feel like this home is given an instant sunny disposition and a unique personality.
That, and it reminds us of the doors we used to have with our old Lego set in the 80s!

I love bright front doors . . . .this is a nice idea because it doesn't mean you have to be that bold on the house itself. The only downfall I see is that your view out the front is quite obstructed.

I like the idea, but I don't think I'd tack a bright yellow door on the front of an old unfinished façade. But that's just me. And yeah, I'd miss the view.

I think the deadbolt on the door might provide a false sense of security considering how easy it is to scale the fence into which it is built.

I really like the yellow. However, that's one deep drop when stepping down.

Love it... Love Glen Park, too. The neighborhood is full of great design and cozy homes.
