One of the items on the "to do" list this fall was to paint the front door. The house needed color inside and out....it was easier to paint inside when it was blazing hot. Last weekend it was a beautiful 65 here and I found a $5.00 can of "Oops" exterior satin paint at Lowe's! So, the front door was the recipient of my bargain.
Because of the previous color, it took 3 solid coats of paint and still needs a little touch up with a small brush, but I'm sure you wouldn't notice those places unless you looked really close...I still have enough paint to do the side door by the garage! That may need to wait until spring though, I'm not sure I can tolerate the temps to paint outside right now. :)
We are painting the hardware this weekend (well, Greg is) to match the future color of the shutters. They will also get a good overhaul in the spring. Here's a reminder image of the house before the door was painted.
I'm thinking dark chocolate shutters with the burgundy(ish) door???
Here's a close up of the wreath. Yes, I made it and I have plenty of materials left to make you one too! Now that I see it, I don't think I like the ribbons that are hanging down...
Have a great day!
