Shocking!



My first reaction to this door was shock!! What a shocking shade of red!! Sure, I've seen red doors before and have even already posted a few here, but THIS red is really 'out there'. My shock was joined by amusement once I walked up to this door. Why? Because the faces on the doors (I've attached a picture of each of them), seem to be a bit embarrassed by the shade of red they have become!! Poor ladies!! Talk about being 'red in the face'...this door is literally just that!!

The His and Her Door




I believe this is literally the front door to someone's house. I like how they wanted to dress it up a bit with nicely carved figures in a nice light wood. What I don't understand is why the poor lady has to be on her head (I've rotated the picture so you can better see the Mr. and the Mrs.). There is probably a good reason for this topsy-turvy arrangement, but I can't think of one. It does remind me of a playing card where you have the image of the knight/queen/king shown in this same way, but cards get tossed around and turned upside down...doors don't! Nice handle, too, huh?
