This charming period Craftsman home is in my immediate neighborhood and we pass by often. The slim panels with beveled glass adds some interest to the substantial wood door, which is most probably original to the house. This home faces east so the front porch is in deep shade in the late afternoon with a…

Front Door Series #8
A few weeks ago we were touring the gardens for the 46th Annual South Pasadena Garden Tour and came across this lovely door that I had to share with you.

Front Door Series #7
Another red door. What can I say? I love red! This color scheme and feel is very similar to Front Door #5, with a darker gray for the house color and simple landscaping. A cute little Fiat is always parked in front of the house. How divine! *Tina
