As the grand wooden gates to Jurassic Park showed us: the entrance to your amusement park sets the tone for it’s contents.
I haven’t written or showed much about my North Hollywood estate, as it’s had constant work done to it over the past few months, but here’s something that every single person who enters comments on and deserves it’s own introductory post: my door.
The house is long with a U-shaped driveway behind 4 majestically tall wispy evergreens and 1 bushy tree on the sidewalk. The entrance is off-center with a wide-birth walkway separating the grass on each side.
My front door is a big metal frame and swings open on a pin instead of a hinge. The green lights on the inside flash and sparkle, creating an emerald glow through the doors sheet of translucent glass in the middle that pulsates and throbs to the outside world as an inviting beacon of Awesome.
Like Lady Liberty’s torch in the night, the entrance to my home calls out to the downtrodden and misunderstood, calling them to a better world where they might find a better life…
The door opens to a rectangular waiting room with directions to the East & West wing as well as glass doors leading straight ahead to the back yard – all locations to be detailed another time. I just had the tiles redone in the entryway here, and rest assured, there remains to be much more to be done, redone and improved again.
