Ok, we are purchasing my FH parents house. One of the things that i don't think about their house is they never put anything on the doors or the front balconies. The lights on either side of the door have just been changed, and are much larger that what was oringinally there, as well this is the new paint color I have chosen for the doors.
My questions:
Do I put weathes on both doors and both sets or just one?
Here are some pictures to help.

I'd either do both or just on the one you want people to use as the main entrance. but I think either way it would look good.

I think you could either do a wreath on the main set of doors (both doors) or both sets of doors (all doors).
By only doing one set of doors, you will more clearly define the actual entrance to the house, which is nice. Do you use both sets of doors?

Honestly his parent's use neither set of doors, as everyone goes in throught the garage. But I want to change this but havent' decided which ones we will use for guests.
The left set goes into a foyer with the dinning room off to the left and the kitchen off to the right. The right set goes into a large hallway which has a bathroom, laundary room, the kitchen and a pool off it. (The pool in not finished and will require alot of money to get finished so it is blocked off by curtains).
Thanks for the help.

I vote that you only put wreaths on the left doors and use that as your main entrance for guests. It looks to be closer to the street and it just "looks" like the main entrance of your house to me.

Here is an aerial photo from 2003. Since then a large dog-run has been added to the right side of the garage.

Oh wow! What an amazing property!
Some people in my neighborhood have wreaths on both doors, and some do just one. I think I kind of like just one, because when they're on both doors it looks like eyes to me. Just my opinion, though!

robyn: opinions are great, that is why I am posting here :)
Oh my that is a beautiful house!
Edited to add: I forgot to add my opinion on the wreath! I think one on each door would look best :)
