Are these custom made doors? - I have a stone house with a small front door and sidelights...I cannot get this door out of my head...I want it for my house, or something similar. Where is it from? I live in Ontario, Canada. »
mnks I just realized I could find more pics of the house by clicking on architect/design name--sorry--just found this site yesterday. Beautiful Home inside and out!
"We were inspired by Boston's Back Bay and South End neighborhoods with their black trim and ornate cornice work, and the classic water-front shingle style," says LDa's principal architect Douglas Dick. "The goal was to create a more tailored and less casual overall effect."
Black: Glossy black lets everyone know that this is not your average beach house. It accentuates all of the trim in an unexpected away, right down to the studded black doors.See the rest of this home
Like planting outlines of ground cover in a patio or training vines to frame a window or door, the color you choose for a home's exterior trim can dramatically alter its appearance for the better. The use of glossy black to emphasize the beautiful millwork and oval window on this home is inspired. Consider how to use the positive-negative shapes of your architecture to create a similar effect.More:Old-School Design: Frame Your Garden View
Okay - total departure - but we like it. There's a larger photo showing the entire house, but it's hideous. any thoughts on how we could achieve this look? what could the rest of the house look like?
