So yesterday I told you about how the Front Entry Door
has been bothering me. Well apparently I'm not the only one....It was very uninviting and just looked tired and BLEH! According to our neighbors the house was sitting here empty (unloved) for over a year, and I could tell by their tones, that I was not the only one in need of a fresh change! So without further ado....
BEFORE
AFTER
A trillion to the infinite power better right???
I think so!
What did we do?
The paint- Sherwin Williams Exterior Satin Finish Black ($23.00 with coupon)
I had these metal pots (IKEA) already so, they just needed some pretty flowers and greenery to make them fresh and new looking...$44.98 worth of plants and soil to be exact (Home Depot)
Summer-y (Homegoods- $39.99) wreath and (Etsy-$10) vinyl house numbers, and
The Pendant came from (LightingDirect.com $39.00!!!)
Also, the perfect doormat with our intial "P" welcoming you to enter our home (BJ's $14.99)
So for less than $175.00, we transformed our mundane, boring entry front door into an inviting one. I think it looks great, and apparently so do these guys...
Ahh the grass (or lack of) but we do have quite a lovely variety of weeds growing nicely. That's a whole other project I'm dreading to do!! Anyways, that's it for today. Thanks for stopping and taking a look, and come back tomorrow...I found an AMAZING FREE CRAFT to do for the 4th of July, and can't wait to share it with you! Until then...Warm wishes from our house to yours!
I linked up over at

Wow, what a difference! It looks great and I love the little touches like the wreath that you added for some Summery-ness ;)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a before and after out of a magazine, Christine! Wonderful job! I also love how you itemize and break down the cost of each item, so helpful!

I LOVE this! :) It's been repinned on Pinterist. In light of all the copyright confusion, I just wanted to know if you don't mind us repinning? Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI love this! :) It's been repinned on Pinterist. In light of all the copyright confusion, I was wondering if that was okay with you? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love your front door. (I hate mine.) What are those birds please?
ReplyDeleteHi there! I believe there called whooping cranes :-)
DeleteThey are Sandhill Cranes. Apparently the ONLY species of Sandhill Crane that are protected with SERIOUS fines if you hurt them, intentionally or not! Front door looks great :)
DeleteThe birds are sandhill cranes. Very pesky little buggers, but they are federally protected so they get away with pretty much anything :) Front door looks great! My mom had to fight with her HOA for them to approve her front door being painted black, but it makes such a statement!
DeleteYour door looks fantastic! If I would of seen that yesterday there is no question I would have painted mine no hesitation. I think we had a chipmonk run by but he didn't even wave. Hope your guests had more manners.

Okay, HOW DID YOU DO THAT?! I saw the door pic 1 and thought, well that is a nice door. But you somehow turned "nice" into STUNNING. What is it specifically? The trim? I think it is the complete attention to detail...!
ReplyDeleteIt looks FABULOUS. So good, like night & day. No special preference or anything... (mine is black too).
ReplyDeleteBTW, What are those birds??? So cool ;)
Hi Shannon, thanks for stopping by! :-) I believe the birds are called whooping cranes. They're all over the place around here! Always in pairs, and loud as heck!
