Front Door "Before"

When Meg and Michael Hall moved to their Connecticut neighborhood, they searched for affordable accessories to create an eye-catching English country style for the front of their house. In a single Sunday afternoon, the Halls removed a storm door, painted the drab portal behind it a bold red, and added refined fixtures to complete the welcoming scene. "Now when I pull up to my house," says Meg, "I'm proud to say I live there."
