This Photographer Has Us Falling in Love With Front Doors All Over America

The Front Door Project / Designed By Sarah Baugh
They say it's what's on the inside that counts, but with this photographer, it's all about the exterior.

The Front Door Project, a blog and Instagram undertaking run by Connecticut native Deb Cohen (which is where you'll notice most of the photog's snaps are taken), showcases gorgeous homes, front doors, and select history of residences and towns around the country. Cohen's mainstay is New England, but you'll also find selects from places like Charleston, Naples, Florida and more.

Here, 10 inspiring homes that make fall and winter just as alluring as the warmer months:

I didn't think this house could look any brighter, but in the snow it really jumps out at you! #westhartford

Had a fantastic walk in Old Wethersfield today! Can't believe this amazing historic district is only 20 minutes away and I have never spent any time there - it's gorgeous! #oldwethersfield #wethersfield

For the record, this is not the Stanley Whitman house. It is the house NEXT to it. Since I accidentally went down the wrong driveway I thought it couldn't hurt to take a picture 😳 #estate #farmington

I don't usually post the whole house but how could I not? This is the Silas W. Robbins B&B in Old Werhersfield, CT. The home is stunning and immaculately maintained. #oldwethersfield #wethersfield

Just another stunning example of the architecture on Commonwealth Ave. I can't wait to go back in the spring and fall - I know it will look completely different! #bostonma

Hello? Movie producers? I have your perfect New England movie set here! Classic American Foursquare home. What makes it a Foursquare? The simple box shape with two and a half stories, low hipped roof, large central dormer and full width porch, among other things. This was a popular style from 1890-1930 as it allowed for more housing space on smaller city lots. This style home was popular in kits at the time as well! #westhartford #foursquare

Here is a stunning example of a Charleston Single House, c. 1774. This is the narrow part of the house which faces the street. Although this appears to be the front door, it is actually a privacy door that leads to the porch, or piazza as they call them in Charleston. The piazzas can be two to three levels high. The front door is on the side of the house and opens on to the piazza. Many times the piazza looks over the homes gardens. #charleston

Squirrel!! Lots of shutter shapes on my walk today! Across the street there were shutters with acorns - did they plan it? #westhartford

The Only 8 Bar Accessories You Really Need

Image
Getty Considering exactly how to stock your bar can really open up a can of worms. Do you buy separate glasses for red wine, white wine, and champagne? Do you really need those (super cute) Moscow mule mugs? Which cocktail utensils are essential? And what the heck to do they all do? We turned to Laurén LaRocca, one half of the party planning, lifestyle blogging duo Twink + Sis, to find out which accessories you really need. Here's what she recommends: 1. A Cocktail Shaker "Freshly crafted cocktails are truly unparalleled and they really do have a special quality when shaken. It's actually remarkable! Even if you shook up some lemon juice, vodka and simple syrup in a shaker, you'd have a better cocktail than what's served in most bars. Though some shakers are works of art, even the most basic of shakers work great and are relatively inexpensive." 2. A Double Sided Jigger "The key to efficiently making cocktails (that are also consistent in taste) req

Spooky Caverns Lie Beneath This Unassuming Castle

Patricia Chang Bill Gilbert never imagined he'd own the castle all his friends thought was haunted when he was a kid. Clearly, life doesn't always turn out how you expect, because he bought the 145-year-old stone structure known as the Albion Castle back in 2012. While he luckily hasn't run into any ghost occupants, he has gone to great lengths to restore the home to its original glory. Curbed has the full story on the renovation (and the dreamy shots of the eclectic interior — we're talking natural wood and stone combined with lots of bohemian accents).  Patricia Chang But here's the historical nugget we found most intriguing : Back in 1870 two British brothers stumbled upon a natural spring in San Francisco. Inspired by Norman castles, they decided to use the fresh water  to produce beer and built the Albion Ale and Porter Brewery right on top of the spring.  Eventually, the company went out of business and the structure has since had several different owners (i
