I really like the idea of a dutch door. In the case of the door in the image below, they state that it's both charming (which it is!) and practical because it lets in the fresh beach breezes and provides flexible access to and from the courtyard.
Hmmm... No beach breezes happening here, but I still like the idea. I think for now, though, I'll just have to compromise with my phantom screens to get that feeling of having the outside closer when I'm indoors.
What about an interior dutch door, though? Karla, from It's The Little Things That Make a House a Home, transformed an old door (that she found at the side of the road for FREE) into a dutch door - and took the entrance to her laundry room from this...
What do you think? Would you ever go dutch (interior or exterior)?
