As you might expect, there are more than a few things that need repair or renovation on a home (like mine) that is approaching the century mark. Recently, however, the imminent danger and lack of functionality posed by our garage door has earned it priority placement at the top of our fix-it-or-die-trying (hopefully, not literally...) list.
While I realize a new garage door is not as sexy as redecorating the living room or a much-needed kitchen remodel -right now I am admittedly obsessed.
I strolled around the neighborhood seeking inspiration.
What I found was serious curb appeal.
One of the things I liked best about these doors was how well they complimented the feeling and architecture of the home itself.
Character counts!

You're right a garage door is one of the last places I want to spend money. However when you actually stop and look at a home's garage door it can really add or take away from a home's character. You've got some great inspiration here!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jen!I'll be researching costs associated with garage doors & installation in posts to come -fingers crossed I can find some budget friendly and stylish solutions!
ReplyDeleteYou’ll definitely get a few surprises if you just take a good look around the neighborhood. Just like what you've found. And they're simply gorgeous! The seventh photo with its wood-like color fits the exterior of the house adorably. It resembles a carriage-style garage door, which resembles historic, swing-type and side-folding doors.
ReplyDeleteI agree Kerita! It's amazing what you can find when you really look! Glad you liked the doors -I am still looking for one that I like -in my price range! Wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteWhen you said character counts, it really counts! These pics do carry some character in it! I’m glad that you’ve shared these photos. It may seem simple, but it obviously the reflects homeowners’ personality (photos 7-11). I agree with Kerita with the beauty of the seventh one. It has an Old English aesthetic, and yet incredibly stunning!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sharron! I am continuing my own search for the perfect garage door and trying to find one with character -that also matches my budget! Wish me luck! And thanks for commenting!
