Painted Front Doors

Painted Front Doors | Sarah Hearts

 

If you follow me on Pinterest, you may have realized I love bright, painted front doors. In fact, I have an entire board dedicated to them. I’ve been toying with the idea of painting our front doors. They are currently a dark, kinda muted barn red color. Since our house is a very light peach color, I thought it would fun to paint them a blue or teal hue. I’m just a bit afraid that it might look too beachy, but we do live in Florida and our house looks very much like a mid-century Florida house. It does have coral rock on the facade after all.

Since the Mr. isn’t as convinced of painting the front doors a rather untraditional color, he asked that I Photoshop it before hand. Such a brilliant idea! Why didn’t I think of that?

Below are my Photoshop’d images of our front entry way in its current state. Once I paint the front doors, I’m planning on swapping out the porch light, mailbox, and door mat. I’m also planning on adding some new plants to the empty large white planter. I had poinsettias in there for the holidays but put off replanting anything until I decided on a door color. Just keeping in real guys.

Which is your favorer color for our front doors? I’m leaning towards the first color but that soft lime green has me swooning.

    Tough choices! My vote is for 1 or 4. But I think all of those colors are lovely and will add that something special to the doors.

    I love #2!! It is soothing to the eye with the surrounding greenery. My second pick would be #1 – the contrast is bright and vibrant!

    I vote the first one! #4 is in second place. #3 green is better for a sunroom or guest room! It’s too monochromatic with all your green plants.

    I love number 1! That shade of blue really compliments the green.

    On a side note, it’s awesome to see a preview of the color! Love that!

    Can you suggest a color for my front door? I’ve decided on a New England grey from behr paints with a white trim for the exterior of my home. I would like a stand out color for my front door. It’s currently blue which looks good. But I’m ready for a new color. No black, charcoal, red or yellow. My house faces north in sunny California. I do have a porch which provides all day shade.
    Thanks for your ideas!
