| Close up of our front door...ick! |
Our front door has been screaming for a makeover for quite some time now. The tacky white trim and even tackier glue streaks have just needed to go.
I've tried a little bit of everything to spruce it up, but wreaths and door hangers couldn't mask the inevitable.
 |
| Front door Fall-ified!! BEFORE |
Step One: Prepped by scraping the streaky mess & wiping the door with Goo Gone (love that stuff)!!
Step Two: Applied a few coats of Sherwin Williams Masket Brown, which was the original door color. The white trim was painted brown too.
 |
| Couple coats of paint |
Step Three: Waited 24 hours (it pained me to wait that long), then applied the "Welcome" decal that I'd ordered from Off the Wall Vinyl Decor.
Total cost of our room redo: Quart of paint $15 & vinyl decal ($9)= $25
I couldn't be happier with how the door turned out! Looks so much more inviting!! Check out the curb shot of our house before....and after! Lovely!

Looks Great! Martina
Love that Welcome sign. Thanks for telling us where you got it. We are in the middle of painting our front door. Would you mind if I steal your idea?
My front door did the same thing... It was gross all the glue seeping Are you sure we don't have the same builder...LOL... Love what you did to it. Very welcoming

I love what you did! My front door (and back) are atrocious and in need of a makeover -- I love the idea of the vinyl decal! Great job!
Glad that you didn't hesitate to give your door a makeover. You don't need to spend a lot or replace your entire door, just a touch of paint is enough. By the way, I like your "welcome" vinyl decal. Good job, Tauja!
