Saturday Snapshot
August 27, 2011
When Carl and I were in Northern Ireland, we noticed that many of the people dressed up an otherwise drab house with a bright, colorful door. We spotted this one in the little town of Glenarm.

I love this photo and how it represents the owners’ attempts to be individuals. Plus, that door takes a grey house and makes it wonderful1
I love the way the colorful door takes the focus off a somewhat blah house.
I love this photo. I always wonder what modern day Ireland looks like, because basically, the only pictures I have ever seen have come from historical memoir type books. Looks like I really need to do my homework!
Love that this door is red
I like that a lot! A splash of color!
Love that look! Just costs the price of a can of paint!
So pretty. The bike is a nice touch.
That photo definitely captures the houses in Ireland and the UK: drab exterior with a bright door, I love it!
I also see they added some hanging baskets and pots of flowers. And very symmetrical too. It’s an eye-catcher.
What a great little house! Red doors are supposed to be lucky.
My Snapshot is here.
I love splashes of colors like this, it makes the building look interesting
Oh wow, I love this! It looks perfectly serene in terms of temperature which is a divine concept in the middle of the hot Atlanta August!
A very beautiful building!

I love this door. At our last house, we did the same and painted it neon blue.
Clever idea.
It is beautiful…nothing says cheerful like a really awesome red door…
Ha that’s cute!
a red front door is the BEST! That’s what I always look for in a house! Very cool picture
The door definitely makes the house stand out. Love it.
Makes the house look more inviting. As do the plants on the balcony! I love the bike sitting outside the house!
Here’s My Photo
I love the Georgian doors of Ireland.
This is a wonderful shot!
I love red doors! My house in the foothills had one…it was more of a burgundy, but really made the house pop. Thanks for sharing, Kathy, and for visiting my blog.
Wonderful snap. I love the splashes of color in the doors of Ireland! Hope all is well with you today…
I love a red door on a house. I find them warm and inviting! Great photo!
That does put just the right dab of color in doesn’t it? Plus, I live in Columbus, Ohio, Ohio State country where the colors are scarlet and gray. This house would fit right in.
If it weren’t for the door and the bit of sky it would look like a black and white photo. It definitely needed that extra bit of color!
Love that red door! Thanks for sharing … and maybe I should go and buy some red paint for my boring white door, LOL.
That door looks so cheerful. I’d want to knock on it and visit with the people inside.
There’s something about the picture that makes the house look much taller than I think it really is. Interesting angle!

So cheery!
Oooh, it looks so pretty! I would love to have a blue door. Or maybe purple. My favorite colors! Awesome shot =].
I love that concept. That picture really stands out for that reason!
The red door is so striking! Excellent photo. I love a bit of color in an otherwise drab site.
What a pretty place.
Great looking house and the red door goes well against the grey.

I love the contrast vibrant red against the grey. Nice pic
Wow, does that red really pop right out from the photo. Nice shot!
I love bright doors like that. They could be Ohio State fans, with the scarlet & gray
Football’s on the way!
what a great picture. that’s definitely interesting that the only color they have on their houses over there is on the door.
I love to take pictures of doors! Especially brightly colored ones – this was just gorgeous!
So cute! I have always wanted a house with a bright red door.
There is a church in our town that’s a boring gray brick that has a beautiful arched red door. I admire it every time I drive past!
Great framing in this photo. The way the door just POPS! Love it!
Best use of a red door ever!!!
Love it!
Love this picture as I love european doors and windows as my blog banner shows:)
Very feng shui – a red door signifies drawing wealth to the house. I love it!
