by Rebecca E. Parsons
Your front door says a lot!!! It is an amazing place to show the world what surprises lie within your home. It sets the tone for guests when they arrive. Fall is a great time to spruce up your front door with a new coat of paint. I offered some amazing fall wreath ideas last week to get you thinking about decor. Now we talk about making the door amazing.

Feng Shui books tell you to paint your front door red to bring in the strong Yang energy. ‘The [front] door is very important because it brings to you the very auspicious energy that will nourish your house.‘ If the whole neighborhood has red doors…perhaps you want to beak the monotony. Here I offer some inspiration…
