Before & After: A Front of House Makover (with an Orange Door)

April 14, 2011|

before and after garden frotn door makeover

I KNOW that orange freaks some people out and certainly it is a bold choice for a front door.

As you might know, my front door (on my nearly black house) is orange and I LOVE that color combo. But after looking at this house makeover, I have decided that orange and grey might even be better.  I think Lauren and I are kindred spirits in embracing the orange.

Lauren admits that the exterior makeover has a little way to go still (yes, I agree it probably needs more planting interest) but it is already waaaay better don’t you think?  I can’t wait to see it in the summer.  This BTW is only one small part of a huge makeover of the whole interior of the house. (and it is pretty fab and worth checking out over at pure style home).

    Hi! I was going to paint my front door red, but then was coming across photos of orange doors. Our home is gray and I think I may just go for the orange! Your front door looks fab. Would you please tell me what brand/color of paint you chose?
    Thank you so much!

      Wow – I don’t remember — I can tell you it was a benjamin moore paint — and will take a look in the paint cal stack to see if there was any left with the color label.
