I’m not a green person. I have nothing against green…
It’s just not MY color…
It’s just not MY color…
So… When we bought our house, that UGLY green door was the first thing that needed to go.
More than once while talking about our house we heard,
“Oh, the one with the ugly green door…”
Yep.. BYE BYE Green door.
Hello, crisp lovely white door.
It’s easy to paint a front door I learned. It just takes time.
AND lots of patience from the fiance to have to put on and take off the door knob and lock over and over.
Enter a trip to Home Depot for Kilz Primer and Behr White Exterior Paint.
Oh.. and a paint roller, brush, etc.
Thank goodness we decided to go ahead and get the primer!
It would’ve taken SEVERAL coats of the white to cover up that green.

It’s already looking better, right?!

We replaced the old GOLD door knob and lock with shiny new steel hardware!
The knocker and knob didn’t even match before!!! Now they do!
|
| From old to new! |
And for the final touch I added a Command Brushed Nickel Hook to hold our Welcome sign!
(A Christmas gift that we hadn’t gotten to use yet! Thanks Meg & Kenny!!)

So, what do you think?
I know there were several who said they LIKED the green door.
But really, with the colors of the house as they are, it wasn’t working.
And I DIDN’T like it. Which is what matters, right?!
White is MUCH better!
Maybe someday we’ll paint the whole house and it’ll get a new color… until then, this works for me!
Can’t wait for all the Holiday wreaths and door hangings to come!
Love the white door!! Looks much better!!!
Yup, definitely looking better!!
I am painting my door soon too! I would love a new one, but unless we find a bargain, a gallon of paint is much less expensive. Your door looks great!

The door does look great in white, and the matching hardware is great!
Usually I like green, but I just couldn't deal with that shade on the outside of my house. Love the new door!
That looks GREAT!!! I'm with Jerri too, I am a fan of green but that green was just a lil off!
Looks GREAT!!! Huge difference!
It looks much better, Kassi with a green signature, haha! I am excited to see all of your door hangings as well!

The white door is so much better! I also love the welcome sign; we have one like that but it's our last name.
Looks SOO good! And I love all of your beautiful windows!
