Very impressed with you seeing a job and *doing it*

I expect that old door is full of character and replacing it might detract from the general appearance. I remember neighbours when I was a child who got rid of a very ancient door and I still think it was a loss!

Mind you, I'm with @EssexHebridean on needing stuff around (minimal makes me shrink in on myself: I need stimuli) and plenty of books, preferably ones that have recipes in or are so well read that some pages are loose, and I'm with @greenbee on hating going to the tip. DH kindly calls it 'the recycling centre' so I don't get upset.

Takes all sorts and I so admire you @redofromstart for all the progress you are making!

Do you have a curtain you can hang over the front door? If not, I have a couple of very long, very heavy, lined and interlined, full length, eyelet curtains that you're welcome to...

I always thought that curtains over doors were such a funny concept until we lived in a place where we had a visible draft in the winter at a place we rented.  We put up curtains over our front and back door every winter now, even though we have double glazed doors - and it makes a huge difference to how much warmth stays in the house!

Hi @rtandon27,

Have loved reading your new diary. Your house sounds amazing but a lot of work especially with all the decluttering and all the emotions that come with it. When I moved to the place we are in now I didn't want to move, it was more a necessity rather than a desire to move. We just got the movers in to box everything up as it was and 2 years on, am now thinking its time to make a start on decluttering to "move in properly". 

The curtain at door is something I quite like the sound of, quite fancy mustard yellow heavy velvet curtains.
