What color would you paint/stain my front door? Please help!
Comments (19)I just wanted to update my post with a final decision. They pressed us for a stain choice two months ago and they JUST STAINED IT ON THURSDAY! How's that for urgency? Anyway, after much thought and consideration we went with Minwax Walnut gel stain for the front door. Thanks to all who offered thoughts and opinions. I think it turned out beautiful. Here are a few pics as I know that's what we all REALLY want to see... :-)...See Moreyet ANOTHER... what would you do (front door color) ? (Picture!)
Comments (75)Thank you! Gail, the light is old, not original, but probably 20 years. During my light hunting, I did see many similar ones.. try searching for nautical lighting or coastal lighting. There was another company I had booked marks as well.. I'll see if I can find them!...See MoreWhat color would you paint this front door?
Comments (31)Interesting question about the windowboxes. I have windowboxes on the first and second floor of the roadside facade of our home, also under a bay window in our bedroom (north side). Those on the front are the same width as the windows, we used 2 boxes when there was a mullion to be considered. The front boxes are painted white to match the vinyl portion of the windows (Andersen "narrowline"), we don't have mouldings around the windows or shutters, those under the bay window are stained to match the body of the house and pergola. We opted for window width and white to give the front of an architecturally dull home a little zip. You might try mocking up the wider width on your home using a piece of cardboard that is the dept of the planned boxes. See what pleases you most. In your case I would probably make sure the window boxes were in keeping with the color of the body of the house. As for watering; I water the second floor boxes from the inside. I simply pop out the screens, perform the routine deadheading/"fussing", and water. I do this on average every 4-5 days in the warmest months, less frequently in the cooler ones. I feed the plants with every watering to keep them looking full and lush. It's about time for me to bring in enough geraniums to "keep us in flowers" throughout the winter months, and begin thinking about evergreens and Christmas lights... sigh....See Morewhat light gray paint color would you recommend?
