Doors & Stoops


I have long been intrigued by doors and stoops.  Perhaps it's simply because the door is the first thing you see when approaching a house.  I love the array of colors and the intricate wood-work of the frames.  I even appreciate those doors that are chippity-chipped & in ramshackle condition yet giving off a shabby chic aura.   Living in a city area always makes for a good showing of doors and stoops with character at every door-step.  Each house is so different and longs to stand out on its own. 
There definitely seemed to be an infinite amount of doors in different shades of blue.  I discovered this while out photographing randomly over the summer.  I found these particular blue doors to be so charming.  While I love them all for their uniqueness I happen to adore the shiny black-oil paint doors for their simplicity but boldness against a bright red-brick wall.  I hope you find these pictures inspiring for the next time you decide to paint or replace your front Door.
