The only people that use our front door are first time visitors and those soliciting money / selling something / delivery men.
Like many things in our house, the front door is a triumph of function over form and has replaced an earlier, doubtlessly more attractive version. Holes in the floor suggest that at one point our front door was actually double width. Seemingly at the same time that someone saw fit to install green polyester carpeting over beautiful old boards and remove the picture rails, they chose to replace these old doors with panels of frosted glass and a single door, complete with lion head knocker.
Never mind that in place of soil we have black sand, which combines with the prevailing wind to leave a layer of fine black dust on the windward side of the house. Now doesn't that criss cross pattern just capture the dust perfectly?
Thanks to The Mrs for the opportunity to show off my ugly front entrance and to Bug and Pop for the weekly eye spy extravaganza.

We too have an ugly front door that beautifully captures the black industrial dust of the area. Nice knocker though.

I 2nd H&B. I want a Sheeps Clothing house tour before it's too late, before the less than perfect bits are ripped down in attempt to achieve perfection!
Now you've made me think of the layer of dust on MY front door which I never think to clean except when I'm standing there welcoming or godd-byeing someone.
