Feng Shui and your Front Door

<p align="justify"><em>I love doors and have saved this picture in my files for awhile. I am now looking at it with renewed interest after being in Italy for a month and seeing old and ornate and colorful doors there (see my posting on some beautiful doors and windows from Florence <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/2008/07/florence-bellissimo-windows-and-doors.html" target="_blank">here</a>).

The grass growing between the paving stones, the two potted plants beside the door are all very welcoming and invite you to enter. Front doors are the first impression the world has of your home and as the saying goes: You never get a second chance to make a first impression. What first impression does your front door give to the world?
