We are in the market for a new front door and screen. The setup we have right now includes what I believe is the home's original door, one of those hollow core deals with a diamond shaped glazed opening, and no deadbolt, incidentally. Our storm door is, well, a storm door. It is metal, and loud, and unlockable, which will make it next to useless in keeping Parker safely inside the house on those gorgeous spring days that are coming. I love letting the fresh air in at doors and windows, weather permitting. Right now fresh air without accompanying bugs (and other hazards) just isn't a possibility.
So what would I like to get? The house was built in 1946, and relying on my own memory of architectural styles, I'm thinking Charles Remey McIntosh, Greene & Greene, the Arts & Crafts movement, and my favorite architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Maybe I'd throw in a touch of something different just for fun. If I could remember the name of the style I'm thinking of, I would throw it's name in here. It's the one with lots of curves and silhouettes. I'm thinking that a lot of posters were done in and based upon this period.
The problem with architectural dreams, of course, is that they usually require vast amounts of disposable income, something I just don't have.
The house is a simple house, after all, so anything very fancy would be out of keeping with its primary features.
I've remembered (2 1/2 hours later). The style I was trying to remember was Art Neuveaux (sp?)!
