Re: Painting the front door...

I like the color and think it will look great. I too want to paint my front door. We live on the water and have a white house trimmed in a bit of gray. I am going for a blue shade ...it is currently white and I think we need some color on this house. I am looking at your selected shade and think that might work for me too. I like the blue green combo.

Re: Painting the front door...

I am going to paint my door red sometime this summer. All the accessories on my porch are red and I think it will tie in nicely.

Stratton Blue would look pretty with white.

Re: Painting the front door...

I'd paint the front door and leave the garage alone. The worst that could happen is you paint it again. In my last house, I painted the front door a cranberry color. Go for the pop.

I plan on painting my front door red this summer. All the accessories are red and I think it will look nicer painted red. It is currently black.

Re: Painting the front door...

I think the color you selected would look very nice and give a pop of color to your home. I'm see many homes where the front door does not match the garage door or the trim colors.

I do not care for red at all.

When I open my front door ( I have a screen door ), I need it to complement the colors that I have in the foyer and all throughout the rest of my home.

Re: Painting the front door...

DH painted our front door hammered copper a year or 2 ago, we get a lot of compliments. Our garage door has never matched the front door.

Re: Painting the front door...

The color you selected is very pretty. As for the garage door, most of those I see are white or beige so I don't think many people match their front door to their garage door.
