Before and After

Last month, I posted photos of my home and asked for opinions on what red to paint my front door (previous post). After everyone weighed in and after careful consideration, I decided against all of the reds that I had up and we went with a really deep brownish red called "Miso" from the Martha Stewart collection (I love Martha).

Well....unfortunately, the so called "brownish red", wasn't exactly red in real life, but more of a deep purple. Fortunately, I love the color and I think it actually looks great with our red brick. Tell me what you think...

Before


After

The pictures don't quite do it justice. I promise you, it is purple. My husband thinks that I did it on purpose because purple is my favorite color. I assured him that I did not.

For better or for worse, the for sale sign is in front of our home. We are hoping that it sells quickly. Send me your good home selling vibes. We could really use them right now.

Have a Happy Day!

  1. I think its great. In the pic it looks dark brown. But I think a front door is the perfect place to add a little punch to the outside of your house. Not too big, not too small. And much easier to repaint than shudders or something of that sort.

  9. It looks great! The shutters really add a lot, too. You've made me want to paint my front door! Maybe I'll have a poll now about what color to paint it. :-)
