I have wanted to paint my front door a fun color for about seven years. Every time I tried to pair a fun color with our brick color, it was hard to make it work. I tried blue, green, and orange, attempting to find a color that worked and complimented our reddish-orange brick. I genuinely want to paint the brick white, but that is an expense I am not ready to undertake, so for now, I am focused on transforming the door. I used the interactive Sherwin-Williams website to see what the result would be. After testing about 45 colors, I settled on Obstinate Orange.
And then, I created a candle with Southern Bungalow Co., and the door became the marketing focus. The name, Behind The Boxwoods, speaks of the house beyond the boxwood topiaries at the front door. With a darling pink, green, and orange logo on the candle, I definitely needed to address the brown door that was faded and ready for a glow-up. What a perfect time to add that orange I have dreamed of since 2015.
From the second the painting began, I was in love. It makes such a difference in the look of the house, and it's the first thing I see when I round the corner. I love the orange pop behind the fantastic blue and white planters, and adding new lights to the front of the house made it even better. Our front door glow-up is my new favorite thing. The color is bold, but so are we, so I think it is perfect.
If you are thinking of changing the color of your front door, I say GO FOR IT. I am genuinely so very happy and just think about how darling it will be decorated for Halloween?
Happy Wednesday ...
