I shared my door dilemma story with my girlfriend Wanda in a recent email, so I thought I'd also share it here with you. Now, let me preface this with saying that when my husband and I imagined ourselves in our forever home in the country, in no way did we dream that it would be as nice as this. There are fixtures in this house that I literally would have trembled to purchase because they are so extravagant and expensive. I'm still waking up to pinches :) This is my front door (an older picture taken when Barney still lived here) and I just love it! I love to look at it. I love the entryway. I love to walk up to answer the door. I love the huge fat porch and I love the view that I see...
...when I open the door. Notice how long the driveway travels from the street and circles around to stop at the front door? (and the Spring landscaping job I have yet to do?) *singing* "Luuuv it!" 
And when the door glides open, your eyes automatically gaze upward to feast on this obnoxious chandelier...(I'm giggling) However, can you believe that with 3 holidays under our belts and loads of spontaneous visitors, I have actually only formally opened my front door 2 times??? That's because everyone drives around...
...to this door. The driveway also circles around the front to the side of the house where the garage is. And guess what this door opens to? My. Laundry. Room. How neat is your laundry room on a regular basis? Well, mine is usually a disaster, a throw all space, where the dead plants end up and my many shoes get kicked off......not anymore :)

Darlene you deserve this "palace". What a beautiful home. Friends who come in the other door are not worried about the condition of you laundry room. They are more concerned about how you are doing. Besides, if they don't like it, they can always straighten it up and do the laundry while they are at it.
Thanks for sharing. Great photos.
Oh I want to come and visit you at your new home.... I just loving it already.
I so agree with Jack....I'd come wipe off my feet, and yell Dar...how you doing... I'm here!
Where's the soap...I do a load of laundry for you... put on the tea!!!
Love you and miss you...
