Confession time:
We have lived in our current home for THREE years and I have
painted our front door THREE different colors.....
I totally have better things to do with my time, but it
is a simple project and the just 'right' color to go with
our SW 'Sea Salt' house has been elusive.
Last week, I trusted my gut, went to my comfort zone - that
'works for me' place that a woman with my 'experience' {ahem}
knows she should have done in the first frickin' place!
I decided to get all fancy and demonstrate my theory and reasoning with photos.
You see, if my house were an outfit {with it's previous red door}, it would look
like this cute red head on the left. It's a perfectly fine outfit but one you
would just never catch me wearing, too much going on
- especially the red pants....It's, umm, a bit
too flashy for moi!
I am more of a classic white shirt and jeans kind of gal - so I went with
that look for my newly painted front door {and only WISH I was that skinny}!
I look forward to letting the paint cure another
week so I can put a wreath on the door {I was just
too impatient and wanted to announce to the world my crazy ADD when
it comes to front door colors}.
In all seriousness - I LOVE accessories, when
it comes to dressing myself and dressing my home - the neutral door color
allows for more flexibility when it come to accessorizing my front porch.

I liked the door red but like it even more cream. What is the cream called and what paint did you use?
ReplyDeleteThank you
Looks great! I have an idea should you decide to paint it again! Ha ha! What about pulling some of the grey from the brick and a few shades darker than the grey in the house color?! Looks great as you have it though and I know what a pain painting doors is! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI liked the red too! A nice pop, but if your'e not comfortable with it then the cream is pretty too.
