Front Door Confessions

The sad truth is that our first impression isn't so great right now. 

Our house faces West and our front door takes a beating from the sun.
(Here's a picture from December - lots of beige brick! 
Traditional metro Atlanta 5, 4 and a door.)

And all of our stormy rains seem to blow in from the West. 

It's time for some maintenance and some paint so I am day dreaming about the possibilities.

I do not like our brick but I have to make it work.

I would love to paint it white. 
(I love white painted brick so much! Look at this beauty.)

Painted Brick. A dream come true for me but makes my husband twitch.

Our front door is SW Urbane Bronze. It's off of "my strip" as I have mentioned before. 

All of my seasonal decor looks great against it...

    

 ...but maybe I'm ready for something peppier. Or brighter.

Here are some first impressions I really love.

I've been searching for  a big concrete dog (I can afford) for quite some time. 

Remember my trip to Concrete World?? 

Someday my dog will come!

(I compensated with a giant Santa at Christmas)

Can't go wrong with white on white on white,

The striped pots and coral mailbox don't hurt a bit.

This green door sitch is fabulous. 
My doors were green a few years ago. Maybe I should revisit green.



And how about just green with envy...



Coral is always a win in my book but maybe not with my brick.



Mmmmm. Turquoise...



or darker turquoise...




This would not work with my brick but it is all kinds of perfect!!



Usually when I paint I like to make a change. 
I mean, if I am painting it might as well look different but I'm sooo undecided. 
I love the Urbane Bronze. I haven't gotten tired of it and that's saying something!
What color is your front door?
