Did you know that a red door signifies welcome and a vibrant place, full of life, energy, and excitement? A green door is said to represent balance, peace, compassion, tranquility, and harmony. A door is painted blue to suggest a feeling of abundance and prosperity. A black front door projects strength, sophistication, power, and authority, indicating to all who enter and passersby that the home is a serious place inhabited by a person of substance.

Good Morning Gloucester 
Once again, very nice montage, EJ! I didn’t know anything about the color’s meanings.. and happily, instinctively chose red for mine! Thanks

Fabulous! What if the door is Brown?

Brown. Whether painted or stained, a brown front door looks natural and organic, but it can send mixed messages in terms of color psychology. On the one hand, brown conveys warmth, stability, and reliability, positive attributes all, but certain darker shades of brown signal a desire for privacy, even isolation.

I don’t know who wrote this, but thanks. I love being in Annisquam and have really enjoyed the three winters I have had the pleasure of spending here on Union Court. However, in May I will be moving full time to Rocky Neck, so probably won’t focus on Annisquam so much in the future (probably to the relief and delight of some!)

I remember the doorways of Annisquam well and it is wonderful to see them again! I was the resident housepainter for the village of Annisquam for many years and painted most of these doorways at one time or another. Work was plentiful during my tenure there (1968-1998), and I seldom had to leave “The Village” for work. I was the first painter to paint a house with latex paint in “Squam. Old Harry Gage on River Road had done some research and decided to give latex paint a try; worked like a charm… the rest is history!

Very cool piece of Annisquam door paint history, Lance. Thanks. Maybe you should come back – there are a few that could use a little fresh paint.

Glad to see your moving to the Island. I’m on the edge of Annisquam. It’s nice but strange. 🙂
