I should add that we are keeping the original front door and original front door hardware which is a tarnished brass.\u00a0 It is the only thing original item we are using other than the brick.\u00a0 Everything else is new, but we felt this is a good way to give a nod to the past. The hardware was originally polished brass by Baldwin, and the lock man said it is a very good and expensive set.\u00a0 We are having it cleaned but not polished.\u00a0 I would love for y&#8217;all to chime in with your opinion on the door color.\u00a0 And while you are at it, should I paint the inside of the front door the same color as the front?\u00a0 And will both colors look okay with a black banister on the stairs?\u00a0 And as an aside, I don&#8217;t know how everyone finds such could example photos.\u00a0\u00a0 Finding the right ones is always a challenge for me.<\/p>\n<h2>The blue
