Project Porch - welcome to our home
Learning to love our home again, starting from the front door.
Step 1 in learning to love my home again is to tackle what irks me. I know obvious isn’t it? But after living in this house now for 18 years, everything bloody does! So my grand plan to learn to love this place again, I’m starting with the porch. The very first place that I and everyone sees when they step into the house.
The current space is tiny, bland and a white box. Last decorated back in 2017, with a grey front door, white walls and tongue & groove panelling. A black & white mosaic tiled floor.
Above the front door, in the fan light, is a stained glass window of reds, greens and yellows that my father in law made us. We love it, and it’s the only piece of colour this space has.
I want to change this bland box, into a colourful entryway, that is joyful whenever we come home. Welcoming, interesting and full of personality.
