Today's Which would you choose is a special and magical edition. Special because every item featured is made with love and an insane amount of creativity and talent by Anita Rivera, a darling in blogland and the creator extraordinaire  of  Castles, Crowns and Cottages. Magical because one look at these and you will see the magic right away!

Good Monday morning and Happy Columbus day to you! Hope you had a splendid weekend. Ours was quiet and low key, and frankly it was a nice break after a very long and arduous weekend.Ahhh..that front door. The very first thing that gives you your first impression of someones home. What does the front door say about you? If its a funky color, does that mean that you have  wild side or  throw caution to the wind and know how to let loose, does black mean you tend to be serious and formal, a rustic wooden door make you casual and easy going? 
I wonder just how  much we can read into ones front door and how they choose to or not to adorn it. So today....we are looking at 18 gorgeous front doors, each definitely with their own "personality". If you had to choose one of these front doors, which most reflects your style and personality? I cannot wait to hear! So here we go.......CHOICE 1
