Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to another week of wonderful doors. This week I have an amazing door to showcase that I spotted in Surry Hills, Sydney a couple of months ago. I wanted to keep this door and its marvellous staircase until this time as it is now Pride month in Australia and I think in many countries around the world.

Each step is painted with a stripe from the Pride flag, like a welcome mat for everyone.
A little bit of information on the colours, as the rainbow colours are not merely decoration but also a message, with each colour carrying its own meaning:
β€οΈ Red – for life.
π§‘ Orange – for healing.
π Yellow – for sunlight.
π Green – for nature.
π Blue – for harmony.
π Violet – for spirit.
π€ Black – for racial justice and inclusion for all.
These colours together represent the spectrum of human identity, love, and experience. Itβs not just about pride, itβs about visibility, solidarity, and joy in the face of adversity. I know there are many versions of the flag today but initially it started out with just a few colours and I have to admit that I really love the flag and always feel more welcome / safe when I see one.
Every step here leading to the door is a statement saying βYou belongβ. I would love to know who owns this home and came up with this great idea to paint the steps. As for the door, I think is it exquisite and I love how itβs the same design as the window. The lights and greenery also add to the aesthetic.
Happy Pride to everyone π
beautiful and quite a welcome to all

What a great set of steps to walk up and down every day, Wayne. They certainly stand out. How often do they have to be repainted? I wouldn’t want to spoil them.
