Doors, Doors, Doors.

When we moved into our house all 7 doors (including our shed doors) were brown. Brown house, brown shed, brown doors. I guess the builders get points for matching! 

We bought a new door for our main entrance (which is actually the side of our house) at one point and then found out it would be a fiasco to have it installed (they guy said he would rip out some of our house surrounding the door, then add the wood back… umm no thank you). It was quickly returned and frustrated we just gave up for awhile. Finally, we decided to paint our door. Since we were painting one, I (being matchy-matchy) said we needed to paint them all. 

Let me start with the note that paint chips aren’t always what they seem to be. There is a good reason why people buy samples and paint them on first. The dark “Mountain Pine” I selected to go with our wooden A-Frame house, didn’t turn out so “dark”. After the initial shock of the color being unplanned (we all know I don’t like when things go differently than planned), I realized I liked it! Yes, this was after we called both of our moms to come over and give their opinions… thank goodness we live close to our moms!  

No longer  does our door blend with our house or shed. Now they pop in a beautiful green/blue/gray color! We have 3 of the 7 doors down… our front two sets of double doors remain! The first round of 3 doors took us just a few hours to complete two coats of paint  - it’s actually a pretty quick project! The weather has not been cooperating lately so we are currently waiting for good weather on a Saturday when is Andy is off to complete the project. Hopefully next weekend we can complete the doors, I’ll be excited to have people over for dinner on the deck when the doors are complete.
