Little boys and dirty fingers and white front doors don't mix...
I've been thinking about repainting my front door for a while. It was on my project list for the summer, but I didn't get to it till September. (Hey technically it WAS done before summer was over!)

BEFORE
AFTER!
I picked the same color as the hallway wall, just got the exterior paint.
Here is 2 coats. I ended up doing 3.
I love the details on the door now....not so much when they were white.

AFTER
BEFORE - The bench, in such a sorry state! I recently found some pictures of it new! It must be about 8 years old. Sitting outside in the elements has really done some damage. Nothing a little spray paint can't fix!
AFTER
I just sprayed the sides with black Rustoleum spray paint and brush painted on the same exterior paint as I used on the front door. I was done in under 30 minutes!
The old milk can....This came from the town I was in born in, Hilversum, in Holland.
Talk about rusty!
You can barely make out the word "Hilversum"
I sprayed it with Rustoleum hammered finish
Unbelievable!A fresh coat of paint does wonders!

The door is outstanding. I had the same old shabby bench and I too painted it red. I'm glad that you're happy with the way it turned out. I love it.
Great transformations!
i loooove paint! This is why :)
This is Linda... WOW! what a transformation! Your bright red door looks great, Hannah.
Wow!! I LOVE the transformation, Hannah!! What a facelift! I'm checking your blog and a couple others of mamas I admire. I'm getting ready to be a full-time nanny and want lots of inspiration for my days ahead. Keep posting! How's homeschooling going?

That is beautiful. I stained my front door almost the same color couple months ago. I used stain so it turned out little deeper red.
Love your blog...
