porch with red door


porch with red door

In the end, the robin's egg blue door was an abject failure. By "in the end," I mean "after two coats". Tom (also known as "the lovely painter") suggested red, and so we went with a nice madder color. I love it. The doors have six coats, in the end, though the screen door (to which he added a bottom panel and took out the scrolled corner brackets) has just 4 so far.

Beautiful! As much as I loved your blue house (I really did), I think this one will grow on me very nicely. It looks beautiful - I love the red door and little hang-y pot.

Are the neighbours getting tired of seeing you standing out front clapping your hands with glee? This colour combination is absolutely stunning and after all of the planning and elbow grease, you must be thrilled that it's turned out picture perfect.
