Let me start by saying...I do think the door color is a little bright :) I'm not going to try and blame this on the fact that this is not the color I chose...because it is...but I do NOW think that a shade darker might have been a little more pleasing to the eyes. Hopefully it won't horrify any of the neighbors...or even worse have any of them call the home owners association on us...Because a part of me likes that it's bright and crazy.
Here is the door at Christmas time:
After: I obviously painted the door and the glass door hardware (trying to slowly but surely get rid of the gold accents in the house)
Here is a close up of the handle in the new brushed bronze color:
I also made a lovely wreath to accessorize the very bright door. total cost $6.00
Started with a pre-made grapevine wreath from Joann's for $3.99
Added zebra print, hemp, red, and blue polk-a-dotted ribbons (all that I already had except the zebra print from Joann's for $1.00) and made a large bow - attached with wire
Close up of the bow:
I added the paper mache letter "H" and painted it the with the same paint color that the door used to be (for nostalgia purposes)
