A continuation on the front door. The portico is UP and the door is IN. It is GORGEOUS. Our carpenters are true artists and it was an honor to have them work on our house. I love that they admitted to us that this was the nicest portico they've done to date... that stuff works wonders on me.
I took this photo this morning, and since then, most of the siding is back up, and the portico is actually completed now. All that is left is to get it, and the door, painted. It completely changes the feeling of the house. So much more welcoming and warm. I can tell our neighbors are excited for us, too. :)
And don't you just love the trim around the door? When asked what sort of trim, I reached for a book on cottage style and right on the cover was a door similar to ours and I asked, can we do this? He shrugged and said, sure why not? A 10ยบ angle on basic 1x6... looks not so basic!

That looks fantastic! Definitely warms up your entrance and gives it a very cottage/craftmanstyle feel.
