Shut the Front Door {Color}


Happy Monday friends!
 
My in-laws were in town from Chicago to catch the last of my boys basketball games. While they were here, we took them to see our future home! After spending many a weekend in our cramped rental, they joined us in awe of this fresh, bright open layout. I can't wait to have them back after move in to get dirty in the landscape! It's a blank canvas right now, and they have the most beautiful gardens back home to help guide me come springtime.   

But when we turned to leave, I found the perfect starter project after move in. The plain jane white front door!  We will be moving in towards the beginning of May, so a pretty front door would be a great place to start!  I can never have enough natural light, so I am really happy with the window, but it's pretty "builder" grade boring.  I think a small spalsh of color here and a great window treatment would make for a wonderful grand entrance!
 
Here are some front door colors that I love, but none of them really match the exterior color scheme of the home:
 
 
I really like the coral-y color, but right now with so little color outside {read: no green trees or grass}, and so much white surrounding the house, it's hard to picture. Any ideas from you guys?

  2. I would pick the purply color. Matter in fact when I saw your post, before I read it, that was the color I would suggest. It looks nice with the grey color, plus the shingles.

  5. How exciting to have a move coming up! I always love deep red front doors-- our neighborhood doesn't let us change the colors of our doors but I'd love to!

    1. Thanks Holly! It's so drab outside here right now, I think I'll have to wait to see what we landscape and what will go with it all! I also love deep red doors - a good suggestion!!!
