help with front door, garage doors, etc
Comments (3)Thanks, teacats. If I go with a more casual style door, can I get away with only replacing the door and leaving the sidelights/transom as is? (except no storm door)? If its only the door, I can probably afford a nicer, heavier weight door, perhaps even with some wrough iron "hinges" and or clavos, etc. But will it look OK with the white trim sidelights? Or, would it be worth giving up the nicer quality door (but still more relaxed style than current)and replace the sidelights/transom to have the same wood look as the door? In other words, it would look more like one "unit" rather than door with sidelight/transom trim? If we go with the 2nd option we would have to put a fair amount of $ with the insurane money b/c the insurane company only pays enough to replace in the style we currently have, plus there was a deductible. I love the idea of window box on garage (and address numbers on house near front door), however, the house is dryvit and I really don't think there is a way for it to support the weight of a window box. Wah! And the main color is going to have to stay the light tan...no $$ to repaint all the dryvit and we just had all the wood parts (window trim, bay, soffits, etc painted white last year. My concern with painting the garage doors the same tan color, is that its going to be even more bland than what it is now and since its dryvit I don't have many option for jazzing it up with window box, etc. Any thoughts on painting the garage faux wood?? Big change, but with a new richer looking door and the brown of the copper roofs on the main part of the house, might this actually help the garage tie into the rest of the house...rather than something I try not to look at?! LOL example door, except this one has matching sidelights. If I go with a door this 'fancy" not sure I can affort to also replace the sidelights. Door itself might have to be downgraded...See Morefront door + garage door help
Comments (3)I would probably paint all the windows, trim, fascia, and the concrete the same sage green color. Then pick a green two shades darker in the same family for the door and garage door. I’m no pro tho!...See MoreSelecting a paint colour for garage and front door-HELP!
Comments (2)One idea: paint the garage door the color of the siding above, and do an earthy pink front door. Farrow & Ball has a beautiful dusky pink — Sulking Room Pink: These are all that color, in different lighting: Apparently, it attracts white dogs. :D...See MoreBig changes and I need help! shutters, garage door, and front door.
Comments (12)“My husband is thinking about doing a white garage door with windows. What do u think of white?” Yes to windows. Since the garage is right up front, paint it the same color as the siding to help pull some focus OFF of it....See MoreKaren Coupon
