Front Door Dilemma

I like to think of myself as a fairly decisive young lady who generally has a good idea of where she's going in life. So I can never understand why, when I am put on the spot, even a small and simple choice leaves me flummoxed.

The council are currently re-furbishing my block on a fairly superficial decorative level since it is scheduled for demolition within a couple of years. The contractors knocked on my door yesterday with a clipboard to ask me what colour I would like my front door painted. I wanted to ask her to come back in a couple of days after I'd had enough time to reflect upon, discuss the options with P and consider all the possible consequences of opting for black, blue, brown, green or red but it was obvious that they were expecting an answer there and then! I'm still feeling a bit shaken from the pressure!

And what happened to the days when all council properties had their front door done in corporation green?!

Don't berate yourself, Jude - tiz a very important decision! What's the first colour people will see upon arriving at your abode? It says a lot about a person! (or maybe I'm just as bad as you...) pe ps oid "the progenitor"(link is external) "the art of tea"(link is external) "that's an odd courgette"(link is external)

Which did you go for?

 

Red. On reflection a good choice I think because the hallway walls are light brown with red emboss. I wonder if my guests will think I am an angry bitch though, a la Pepsoid's theory. I'll soon find out since I'm having friends over for supper next month (dress code: Harriet Harman mask and bullet-proof dinner jacket). jude "Cacoethes scribendi" http://www.judesworld.net(link is external)

Pissful, why don't you just sod off back to your own site and leave the people here to have their own discussions or are you still trying to drum up trade?
I haven't been around here much lately... nice to see some things/"people" don't change! ;) Back to the question... http://activerain.com/blogsview/64487/The-meaning-of-the(link is external) ... so it would seem that it means "welcome"... or the blood of Christ... or it attracts luck and good energy... or protects you from evil... or something... pe ps oid "the progenitor"(link is external) "the art of tea"(link is external) "that's an odd courgette"(link is external)

Peaceful, I don't want to move cos when they knock it down, I get a brand new housing association flat and 4k home loss compensation. .. not much money in the grand scheme of things but enough for the chaise longue in Roche Bobois I like but can never bring myself to buy. However, the main motivation for staying is the absolute cheapness of the rent (almost half comparable commercial rents) so I can save for a house in suburbia! Yes I can paint over it, in fact, I painted it myself when I moved in but I would be a fool to turn down or waste two free coats of paint (one small tin of gloss, about £6 worth) ... I believe in getting every penny that's going! jude "Cacoethes scribendi" http://www.judesworld.net(link is external)

 

Interesting thread there Pepsoid. It depends on whether I take the Fen sui or Catholic approach! In liturgical colours red is for martyrs' feast days. jude "Cacoethes scribendi" http://www.judesworld.net(link is external)

 

Probably best to keep your options open, Jude... you can apply different meanings to the door depending on your religious/spiritual leanings on any particular day... or those of your guests! ;) pe ps oid "the progenitor"(link is external) "the art of tea"(link is external) "that's an odd courgette"(link is external)

Admit it, jude - it's red because you are a socialist at heart.
Well of course she is, TC! She's a writer - how could she not be? ;-))) pe ps oid "the progenitor"(link is external) "the art of tea"(link is external) "that's an odd courgette"(link is external)

What about Jeffrey Archer then? Mind you, his books are tosh! jude

 

Well duh... Jeffrey Archer's obviously a socialist as well... !!! pe ps oid "the progenitor"(link is external) "the art of tea"(link is external) "that's an odd courgette"(link is external)

What's Peaceful done that has so upset radiodumbo? If anyone needs an assassin you'll find my rates are very reasonable but the best doesn't come cheap.

 

And I'm very shy.
