Painting my front door … Before and After!
I left the last post with what I was going to work on this week with my front door. If you remember, it looked like this …
The reason behind changing things up? Mr. Man kept calling our home “The Ranger Station”! Especially once we put the flag out 🙂 I am not a fan of Hunter Green so off we went to pick out samples ….
These were “Round Two” samples. We spent Hours talking about paint colors. I was going with the Berry color at the top until I looked across the street and saw both houses with that door color! Other popular door colors seem to be, Green, White, and Dark Brown. We already had Forest Khaki that we chose for the front bay window and I didn’t want to repaint that so I looked for something that had some green in it and then a pop of color for the door. Here is the color scheme that Mr. Man and I chose …
I started with the door first as I was excited to see a Big change.
I thought that I would paint the oval of the door a different color but, yuck, nope! I decided on a solid blue color.
Then I painted the oxidized squares around the windows the brown color but it made it look to boxy so I started to paint the blue to see if I liked that better. Nope. Now I had a Swedish looking home and that was worse than the Ranger Station (no offense to Sweden … it is just not the look that I was looking for here in Minnesota!) So out came the paint to cover up that color and here is the look that I ended up with …
Now I get to accessorize, but that is something that I like to take my time doing. I added shade loving plants as this front side of my home faces North West. They are plants that I can add to my yard in the fall too. Win – Win.
Everyone loves a “Before and After” …
I do have one thing that I want to replace sooner rather than later …
LOL. Yup, a new door bell. I am on to my next quest 🙂
