Oh, boy, this door...(head shaking).
I'm normally not so indecisive about color but this door has given me a permanent line between my eyes.
I know, right!?
IT'S A DOOR.
Here's the door's journey...
Bare wood.
Then I tried to mimic the ocean.
Everytime I look at this photo I just love the color.
Unfortunately, it didn't give off the same effect in person.
I'd rather not speak of with a green undertone.
Then I picked up some yellow which my husband veto'd.
Out of being gosh, darn sick of having a taped up door for months I slapped on
some left over gray (Metro Gray, Ben Moore) and actually quite like it!
For some reason my camera doesn't read color well in this area of the house.
Looks much better in person.
Now to the outside.
1st: primer.
Next: a coat of black.
The first time I painted the outside it looked horrible.
There were a ton of little bubbles in the paint that dried all over the door.
I thought it was because it was too cold outside and didn't cure right.
So I waited until the temp was above 70 (and months later) and made another attempt.
Still lots of bubbles. Paint store said the paint was bad and gave me another gallon.
(How does paint go bad)?
They even gifted me some complimentary sand paper (weren't those men sweet?).
So I sanded the bubbles down and started over.
Now for a new light fixture...
and a new welcome mat.
This 70's rambler is shaping up one project at a time.
"Come and knock on our door...
We've been waiting for you..."
