Door Hardware is Actually Jewelry For Your Entry

I know...crazy title! If you think about your entry any hardware you add to your door dresses it up or adds the jewelry. When I walk up to doors I see an array of door handles, door knockers, hinges, speakeasy's, clavos, etc. Some are the typical version and others are simply amazing.




What is amazing is that you can spend anywhere from $150 to $10,000 (really) for hardware depending on how fancy you want to get...just like that diamond ring you are contemplating. But just imagine when you walk up to a door and see "jewelry" that is different from the norm. Do you stand there and look at it for a bit before you ring that door bell? Does it make you smile? Does it say something about the person that lives in the house. Here are some examples of amazing hardware...who do you think lives behind that door?

First Impressions of your Home

When you are selling your home you need every advantage you can get these days. This may be one of the most overlooked areas of improving the curb appeal of your home --your entry door. Curb appeal is the opinion a prospective buyer forms as they walk up to your front door. With this in mind, your front door should be especially striking, since this is the entryway into your home. This impression sets the tone of what the prospective buyer begins tuning into as they walk through your entire home. If your door is in less then spectacular shape they may enter with negative thoughts and may continue looking for other problems, perhaps thinking if the front door isn't taken care of...what other problems are there that I may not be seeing?
