New Front Door.

This is happening: 

We're getting a new front door.

It's ordered and I have been debating colors and hardware. I always gravitate towards blue.
I also love the additional millwork surrounding the door, but for now we'll call that phase two.

Check out this hardware.

I asked Tony if we could paint the door pink. I think it would look smashing on our light grey brick. He entertained that question for a whole 1 second and said, "No, we do not live in a dollhouse."
I also am eye-ing the hardware details like an oversized ring pull and mail slot.

I'll keep you posted.

Come and knock on our door...

The doors and hardware in Italy are remarkable. I was always lagging a few steps behind Tony as I would snap pictures of them. I would have loved to bring home any ole door as a souvenir, but instead I bought ideas {+ wine, a wallet, a skirt and fabric.}

The first two days felt like sensory overload, and then I realized every street has beautiful doors on display, and my photos slowly diminished. Please enjoy the longest post in Smitten history.

Allow me to zoom in on the hardware from the Pantheon

Must zoom in on these locks
