My Front Porch Looking In...

Love country music...and love my new front door.



Some before and after - last spring when we bought the house - we loved the front full screen and storm door, and we really liked the white door with windows in it. The door had to be replaced, though, as it had been scratched up pretty badly by the renter's dogs...
 

The door dude really tried to convince us to go with fiberglass - lasts forever, "looks" like wood, wood will rot eventually... He was probably right, but this house just seems to call for the real thing, and we could not get the 12-light door in fiberglass. That extra row of windows gives so much light. Very glad we chose the wood door.



We primed it right away, but kept going back and forth on the color. Plus we had just a few other things to distract us inside the house...

 
...but we finally decided on this rich red - color is called Sly Fox by Behr  (Home Depot). The HS had it completely painted and scraped in a couple of hours last Saturday. What a guy!



The finished door on a beautiful breezy spring day.
 
And the roof has been power-washed, so it's all looking so spiffy. 



As I write this, the HS is working in the kitchen, so we may have some new kitchen pics up in a few days.
