Our front door – well, really all our exterior doors – were in pretty rough shape when we purchased the house. We’ve since updated our garage door, but our front door & screen door were still in for a long-overdue make over.
Yuck. I bought some indoor/outdoor black paint from Lowes, and a new screen door from Menards.
I was feeling brave, until I made the first brush stroke. Then I started to have second thoughts. Black seems so permanent to me, but I managed to keep painting through the knot in my throat…
And voila, big changes in the front door area!
I knew it would be a big change to paint the door black, but it’s even better than I imagined! I love love love the black exterior. Looks brand new, but it’s the same door as before! Ten dollars brought big impact!
I took an even bigger risk and painted the interior black also. I’m still not certain how I feel about it, and the pics are awful with the lighting, but in keeping with my “keep it real” motto for this blog, here ya go…
My mom & sister like it, and I think I do too. I’m still deciding though. I really just liked the glass image reflecting in the photo frame in the photo below…
Oh, and our door that goes from the garage into the house – disgusting. Totally disgusting. And that’s after I scrubbed and scrubbed it!
So how about this $10 transformation?
Sooo much better!
Looks great - nice job!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I guess it didn’t really look out of place because of the black frames by the window. And it stands out nicely against the white frames as well. And to top it all off, you did all that with a $10 paint can! Cheers!
