Feeling Kinda' Blue...

Well, the front door anyways!! :)

Oh, how I have wanted to do this for awhile and I finally got around to it.  You see, we live in a community that has an HOA and we are 'governed' as to paint colors and landscaping outside.  So, I had noticed that some of the front doors were colors other than what we had (dark brown) and got that 'front door jealousy' thing going...

Now I had seen these ads for Behr 'Marquee' paint - claiming that it was fade and dirt resistant.  For those of you who know Southern California, it's sunny and dusty!! So, I was all in for trying this out!!
**(Please note - I am in NO way affiliated with Hope Depot or Behr - no compensation)** 

I chose 'Harbor' as the color and here she is!



 Pretty, right?? :)  It makes me happy and we can't stop saying how GOOD it looks!!

We (I had my trusty helper hubby) prepped the door and got to work.  Teamwork is always a win-win.





You can see the original color (blah) and the back of the door was white.  From the inside of the house was this big expanse of white!  So we painted the back of the door as well. :)




In love!!  Makes the whole entrance 'pop'!  It took 2 coats for both sides of the door but it covers really well.  Now if the paint lives up to her claims, there will be a painted garage door and trim soon too...
I'll let you know.

Have you painted anything lately??
