Pinterest Front Entry Love!

Lately I've been looking for ways to cutesy up our front entry.  We've been working so hard in the back yard these last few weeks; screening in the porch, installing landscape plants (yes I dug the holes myself for all 29 of them!) and weeding beds, and now I'm ready to start on the front.  Decorating the outside of our house has always stumped me...the design of it is a little weird.  Our front door is off-set and it really looks like we live in a garage.  That's actually what I tell people when they're coming to our house for the first time.  The double door garage is built smack in the middle of the house and the front door is not visible from the street...slightly wonky.  I want to add a little interest, and some whimsy, to the front and definitely show off our pretty new storm door.  These are a few of my faves from Pinterest...

Totally in love with this black door and numbers from Remodelaholic.com

And I adore all the cute and unconventional flower planters...

Reclaimed pallet turned garden from Life on the Balcony


I heart chairs turned into flower pots like this one from designer Wendy Doan

And this one using a hanging basket from Jasey's Crazy Daisy
 I'm also thinking of using a reclaimed wood door somehow...I can just see husband's eyes rolling at that one!

Something like this propped up with flowers in front would be beautiful.  Picture source unknown...if it's yours it's gorgeous!!
I've gotten enough ideas to get started but am always on the lookout for more!  If you have a blog post on your front entry ideas feel free to leave a link to it in the comments section...I'd love to swoon over your creativity!!
