Energy Efficient

Our old front door was so drafty and sometimes swelled up so much that it wouldn't open/close properly. Not good during a New England winter.

So this year we invested in a new front door. Love the style, love the fit, and love the fact that we can see out, but whoever's at the door can't see in (well, a giant probably could). It's amazing that it only took one person to install it.

Now that I look at it -- that doorbell looks pretty cheesey -- maybe I should look for a new one. Funny how upgrading one thing causes a chain reaction. We already replaced the outdoor light that was ruined last winter.

The before/after photos are courtesy of Photoshop (Photoshop Elements, that is) - backgrounds, photo collages, etc. I really need to learn how to use it well.
