You may remember me mentioning in this post here that we were in desperate need of a new front door. The old door was rotting. It held out just long enough for us to hit up a nice little front door sale at The Home Depot earlier this summer.
We went with an Anderson door, and we let the folks at Home Depot do the installing for us. We used them back in the spring when we replaced our patio doors for sliding doors and were very happy with the whole process. So when the time came to replace the front door, it was a no brainer for us. Anyhow, the door didn’t come painted or with the grills/grids/whatever you call them on the glass. We had to order the grill/grid things from another company.
Choosing a paint color was quite the process. We had our painter friend do the painting for us and I’m pretty sure he thinks I’m crazy now. I had him paint the door twice because the first color I chose – Valspar Breezeway – was too greeny-blue. I disliked it so much I never took a picture of it on the door. I just want to forget I ever chose that color. 😉 Anyhow, the color we ended up with is called Cincinnatian Hotel Lindner Blue also by Valspar. It’s more of a grey blue and works much better with our shutters, Valspar Graphite.
now to figure out what to do about that dang brass doorbell intercom thingy. An intercom? Really? Who needs a flipping intercom? Ridonc!
Do you have trouble deciding on colors for your exterior? I think it’s much harder to choose paint colors for outdoor areas than it is for indoor. There are so many other factors that play into how they look.
Your new door is beautiful! Why not use rub n buff on the doorbell/intercom to either match the doorknob or the lanterns
