I recently sat and reflected on just how important front doors are to our homes. They are typically the first things our guests see when they arrive for a visit. Our front doors are usually our first layer of defense. They also give our neighbors and people passing by a good idea of what the inside of our home may be like. Front doors are the gateway to our homes and in some cases our hearts. We adorn our doors with wreaths and other decorations from season to season, holiday to holiday, but how much attention do we usually pay to the actual handle set that makes the door a door? Delaney’s 12 Doors of December collaboration came just in time to help me put some much needed focus on the handle set for our front door. 

I selected the Capri handle set from Delaney in black and I think it looks beautiful against the blue of our front door. Of course, hubby installed it and we were very quickly up and running! I love how sturdy the handle feels and how it gives our home more of a stately look. 

To celebrate our new handle set and the beginning of a new season, I wanted to decorate our door so I threw together a quick and easy Do It Yourself project. This project probably took all of ten minutes and I am super pleased with how it turned out! . 

Overall, we are delighted with our new Delaney handle set. I hope our guests feel welcomed and comfortable when they enter our front door and that it is obvious to our neighbors that we care about our home and making it safe and beautiful for everyone who enters and who just passes by. Head over to Delaney Hardware and check out all that they offer for your front door!
