We've made some more progress outside. After several rainy days, we've had a week of comfortable fall temps and sunshine.
If you recall, our long-term plan is to get rid of the forest green, starting with the front door.
Here's a closer view of the door, from inside the house {that coral color is gone, too!}.
Again, I chose the Hi-Hide Latex Paint from Porter -- though I realized afterwards that an exterior paint would have probably been the best choice. Luckily, there is a glass storm door in front of this door {as well as the covered porch} so it should be well-protected from the elements.
The color is St. Augustine, which is a near match to the paint that I used on our entryway mirror. I actually narrowed down the colors before realizing how identical it was to the mirror -- so, I guess you could say that I'm a fan of soft, minty greens right now.
Our wreath really pops now that it is on a lighter door and the soft green works well with the fall colors.
You might notice that there are no longer shutters flanking the door. I feel like this is one of those big impact, but not obvious, improvements.
We also removed some dark green decorative pieces that were hung at each end of the porch.
There is a garage door on the opposite end of the porch, which we painted in St. Augustine, too.
I'm liking the progress we've made thus far; but this will probably be
about it for 2014. The days are getting shorter and cooler, so it's time
to turn our attention back inside.
What color is your front door?
