No, it's not 10 Downing Street

Update: We got our lion head knocker in the mail from Design Toscano and I had to install it immediately. It really creates a focal point on our shiny black front door. I love it!

My front door

I've found the perfect accessory for our new glossy black front door, thanks to our stylish friend, Ann. She suggested a lion head door knocker, and ever since then, I've been obsessing over them.

A quick search on flickr revealed over a thousand very cool lion knockers. And many of them are on shiny black doors like my very own! Here are some of the best...

Very art deco, don't you agree?

And here's the one I ordered online...It turns out it's a replica of the exact one at 10 Downing Street, the most famous address in London! I can't wait.
