Welcome to my new blue front door!
I've always wanted to paint my front door blue
but was rejected twice by our HOA. Not one
to give up, I went to their next meeting armed
with pictures of other doors painted in the
neighborhood that were red, green, brown,
and black. I also brought my navy color paint
chip as well chocolate chips...cookies that is
to pass around in my navy lined Longaberger
basket, while wearing my navy dress.
Subtlety was not an option. It was all well
received and they made an exception for
my color choice and thought it would be
very pretty. Larry and I left soon thereafter
before they could change their minds.
The color is Naval by Sherwin-Williams.
Picking just the right shade of blue without
going too bright is not easy. I got inspiration
via blogland, my favorite source. Ann over at
On Sutton Place, painted her door this blue.
It looked perfect. She loved the color so
much she even painted some of her kitchen
cabinets. Hmmm...keeping in mind when
I need want to paint the kitchen island
or whatever else needs to be blue.
I had to do a Waterlogue app version.
Here's the white door before.
Trying it with my
blue and white fabric scrap wreath.

Here with the spring floral wreath.
I love it every time I walk up to it!
I'm in blue heaven!
Cheers!

When I saw the first picture of those blue double doors, I was floored. I mean, my mouth literally fell open at how beautiful it looked! My favorite color is blue, and I've never had a blue front door before. This has really given me inspiration. The addition of plants and flowers on each side of the door really stand out!
ReplyDeleteHi there. I'm having a very tough time choosing a deep blue for my front door and I love what you've chosen. What finish did you use? Was a satin or semi-gloss? Please let me know. Thanks!
