Front Door Fascination: Standing On The Corner of Pape & Eastern
November 20th, 2009 Categories: Front Door Fascination, Photographs
This is a surprisingly pretty entrance located on Toronto’s Eastern Avenue.
Why the surprise at such a pretty door? It’s just a little … unexpected. Eastern Avenue runs through what was once a very industrial area and although many of the factories (and sadly, the jobs) have long departed, the vibe is still somewhat hardscrabble.
I love how that particular shade of blue works so well with the yellow bricks. And especially that the planters are done up in the same shade of blue rather than trying to introduce a third colour. The old “less is more” notion. It just works! On second thought, it’s very Eastern Avenue.

Looks like it could be an entry to a fort.
