I have long wanted to paint the front door of our home, and finally
I am going to get on it!
(insert husband's eye-rolling here as I've been saying this for years a bit, but between you and me, I really mean it!)
I adore the look of painted front doors, I love the instant charm and personality that little detail adds.
I remember years ago my Mother-in-Law painted her wooden front door a rich, shiny black and it looked absolutely beautiful.
And so I'm tossing around colors at the moment.
Originally, I had wanted to go with a red for the door, more of a raspberry red than say, a brick red. But after pouring through magazines, paint decks, and searching on blogs, I'm now thinking a pretty, soft aqua like the last image could be lovely too. I thought I may as well put it out there to the wonderful world of blogland, to see perhaps if any of you had a good color recommendation? And if it helps, our home is painted a dark gray (weathervane by para paints).
Curious, is your front door painted?
