Easy Front Door Makeover

July 19, 2018 by Katie Anderson 6 Comments

Do you ever have one of those projects that seems to stay on your “to-do” list waaaaaay longer than it should? Don’t worry, you’re so not alone.

For months now I’ve been wanting to re-paint our front door. I actually purchased the paint back in December, after I got a gift card for Christmas – yep, buying paint actually brings me great joy.

This isn’t a sponsored post, but I had read some really great reviews about this brand of paint and wanted to try it out. It’s typically a little bit more expensive, depending on where you shop for it, but I bought it on sale at Hobby Lobby for a pretty good price. See similar link here.

I choose “Ambitious” – a bright, cheery red color. The entire bottle allowed me to do 3 coats on my door, and I even had a little leftover in the bottle, which is nice in case I ever need to do touch ups.

When we first built this house, we chose a burgundy color for our front door, but after 9 years of sun beating down and fading, it really needed a new paint job…badly.

Not to mention, the old “Welcome” decal that I had on the door and removed a while ago was still somewhat visible…annoying much?

Fast forward six months later and this project still wasn’t getting done.

Until this week.

Mic drop. Yeah.

I had a great sunny day for painting and even had time to add a cute little new decal to the center of the door as well.

I created this address decal using my Cricut. Having one of these machines is super fun for creating all kinds of different projects.

I was able to cut it out on some white vinyl and apply it to the door just like a sticker.

If I ever get sick of it, I can simply remove the sticker and change it to something different.

I was debating on whether to put our address on the door vs. a cute greeting like, “hello” or “howdy.”

Actually, “howdy” was immediately shot down by my 5th grader.

Ultimately, the address won. Classic, simple, and not “howdy.”

A good sweeping, cobweb removal – spiders out here in the country are for reals ya’ll – and some potted plants with a welcome mat complete this easy makeover.

And that’s one more thing I can happily check off the “to-do” list!
