Already awesome home with still some potential to make it a home run. I agree that the front needs a little more continuity. Awesome that an HOA doesn't control the allowed colors of a front door.

Some of the comments on this post are just plain elitist. Design is in the eye of the beholder. Much like art or music, people should decorate with what they love! Just because a book is 70 years old doesn't mean that the words inside it are magical. Some books back then were just plain terrible. Repurposing it into a piece of art like this is a great idea. I would bet that a majority of posters that wrote "Book Killer" wouldn't honestly pick this book up and read it cover to cover. They would just enshrine it on their book shelf where it gets dusty without ever researching what that book is about.

You have the right to not like something, I agree. Those that write this idea off as dumb or wrong would probably be surprised to find that a lot of people wouldn't like their style either. Who cares if this won't be "in" in 15 or 20 years? Do what you love now and be willing to adapt with the times and your ever-changing style.
