Proudly we mention that this door was featured in an article in Sunset Magazine, and subsequently became one of their signature photos, appearing in their ad depicting the four seasons of Sunset. Along with the patina finish viewed in this photo, El Portal is also available in a rust-colored finish.

El Portal

I once had a realtor tell me that the front yard landscaping was the first thing that a person saw when looking at a home for sale - imagine, visually they didn't even see the house! But what happens when they finally decide that they do want to see the house?
Have you ever thought about what your front door "says" to people on the outside about the people who are living on the inside? How does it look? What does it feel like? Think of it as a symbolic portal to who you are and what you want to say to the world.
While we realize this door may not work with every style home, some may find it the perfect solution for continuing their garden experience over the threshold of transition to their indoor living space.
Don't be afraid to open the door of perception to good design!

--Nick Williams

THE DOOR

These uniquely designed entry and interior doors have been painted with a metal coating and aged to a beautiful luminescent patina, creating a magical entry way for your home. Available in copper patina or antique iron rust-color.
