Front door help!
Comments (4)Hi there! You can paint the part between the door and sidelights white and also paint sidelights white, it will less emphasize that part. But I think door and sidelights look amazing now, and it would be good if you can pick up the right color for that part to match the door, like wenge and leave door as it is....See MoreBenjamin Moore paint for shutters and front door HELP!
Comments (22)<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><md>Many thanks to all for your thoughts and advice! I’ve used some them and came up with a result that I’m very happy with. As stated, I was looking for advice for shutter, door frame and door paint color. I used black for the shutters and shogi white for the door frame. But, I wanted a “pop” color for my front door and that was the most difficult color to arrive at. I decide to “study” color schemes and purchased a color wheel. I went with a complementary color to my brick. My brick is varied in color but overall a terra cotta tone. With the color wheel focused on those tones it recommended blue-green or green-blue. I came to the conclusion that my scheme would resemble “southwest” colors, thinking terra cotta and turquoise. My neighbor, that has an eye for colors, helped me make the final choice and I love it!!! The recommendations for no shutters on the ground floor was noted. I drove around my neighborhood and the community that I live in and concluded that it is standard practice to put shutters on my windows. So, I did. Thanks again to all that contributed to this post. Now, I’m off to Croatia! ✈️...See MoreDouglas Fir Front door help!!!
Comments (12)Update on our door- they sanded it down but it’s near impossible to get all the old stain and polyurethane off for the door to fully take the new stain. There two options now- paint it or get a new door and honestly we have been renovating since March and I am so over this, so I am headed to the paint store to pick out some paint that brings me joy and I think in the king run this will be a good decision to paint it cause the upkeep is less over time. We live by the ocean so weather takes a toll on doors here and they need refinishing every couple years etc so I am just going to have it painted and can always change the color easily in the future. Thank you all for your advice! I will post a final picture when it’s done....See More6ft front door? Help!
Comments (13)We're trying to enclose it to become a mudroom. The breezeway goes into the kitchen. The door you see goes into the living room. The setup of this house is not great to say the least, and we're trying to maximize. Having a mudroom would be a game changer because right now you basically take off your shoes and jacket in front of the refrigerator. I hate the idea of a 6ft door too, hopefully we can figure something out!...See Morepnwmirabeth
