Color change #2

CheriALL THINGS HOME, DECORATING, GENERAL

About 4 years ago we installed this door.
It has taken me that long to decide:

  1. That I don’t like the “au natural” fake oak finish.
  2. If I should paint the door.
  3. What color to paint the door, if I painted the door.
We have no excuse as to why we haven’t painted the trim.

I was determined to decide on a color.  It had been long enough.  Then I came across this color combination on Pinterest:

And then I saw this door.  My heart began to sing …

We bought the paint.  And waited.  And waited. And waited.
For the humid, hot days to end.
Sunday was our big break.  Mr. D took the door off the hinges —

and went to work painting the door in the dry, cool basement.  So the paint would dry faster.

He put a coat of primer on the door first.

By the end of the day on Sunday we they were re-hanging the door.

I could hardly contain my excitement …

Can I just say that I 
LOVE
my front door?

MAJOR improvement!!
