To give you and idea of how dark our living room is without a light on in the daytime here is a picture I took after the old door was taken out and the new one hadn't been put in yet~

I took this photo with the overhead light on and it still seems dark to me. I am a person who loves light and air, Roger is completely opposite, he could care less if the whole house were dark and no fresh air and many times complains when I open a door or window in the end I usually win. I happen to be someone who gets hot fast, and he is not, I am always telling him if he is cold then put on a sweatshirt, when I am down to a shirt and shorts that's pretty much as far as I can go before I am naked!! Even when going to bed I have the bedroom windows open and he will be wearing sweat pants and sweatshirt and have all the blankets up around his neck and here I am with basically just a nightgown on and just a sheet and I still think it's hot. I also in the summer sleep with the ceiling fan on wich seems to help me because I like air flowing around me. Anyway enough about my air and light situation :)
Here is the finished door~

Isn't it beautiful, I love the fact that it has a window and a screen, mainly so I can get both light and air in the house but also you can see the backyard when you walk into our home now. I can also keep and eye on the dogs when they are outside without having to open the door. I think our cat won't like it too much because he loves to look outside, but he can still see out the front door.
Have a wonderfule weekend fellow blogger friends
Blessings,Joann
Oh Goodnes, Joann, Kevin and I are the same way. I want lots of light and air. He wants it dark and hot. I usually win too. LOL Your door looks great. Your dh did a wonderful job on installing it. Have a good Sunday, my friend. Winona
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I am with you, need air and light, and the ability to see outside! Hubby says he can make me a sewing room in the basement, but no way, I would feel claustriphobic (sp?) But dear hubby is with you, gotta sleep with a fan, no matter what the temp, while I am covered up to my ears! :o) Anyways, your new door looks great!
ReplyDeleteHi Joann, I left you a conversation on Etsy, and I emailed you too, about your order. Sorry to use a comment for business...I just wanted to get hold of you as soon as I could. Feel free to remove my comment after you've seen it. :) Thanks! Alesha from Alesha Kay's Shop
