Small Project ~ Big Bang!!

    I love the front door on our house - but, the color? Not so much. It's a sort of brick red. Very muted, almost brown, not very welcoming. I wanted to paint that door before we even bought the house and now that we've started a few outdoor projects I REALLY want to paint the door!

    Something about the color makes the house look very neutral, very one tone. I think that the color of the front door is pretty important. It's the first thing people see as they drive up or walk by. This is a really nice door. It has some uncommon features - the window (which is also on the remake list!), the ledge - they need some attention!

    We built the bench from a kit we purchased at Costo. I love the planters. I'll be able to change them seasonally but the entry still needed that wow factor. So, for under $50 and about and hours worth of work I got this:

    

The dark teal is so perfect against the stone. It really makes the blue colors in the stone stand out. The whole house cooled off and now feels like a calm, welcoming place. The brushed brass kickplate at the bottom adds a little style while being a practical solution for protecting my new amazing door!

I'm all about these little projects... so satisfying!
