We had to replace our front door for various reasons, the biggest one being that the door opened out. Not very secure, considering all it would take to get into the house would be taking the hinges off the door, also it was a bit awkward when someone would come over, I had to be very careful not to hit them with the door as I opened it. It also looked really strange, the door casing itself was just put in backwards, so the metal plate, the one the keeps water outside the door was on the inside of the house. I know, weird. The casing was hodgepodge together using molding, instead of one sold piece, the walls, being cement, are 12 inches wide, so standard door casings don’t fit, hence the hodgepodge.
So anyway, we got a new door, and it needs to be painted. I want to do something fun and bold. The house is a brown, greeny color, trimmed in cream… BORING, I want the front door to pop. I am looking for suggestions, I don’t want to do white, cream, black or plain brown (although I am open to some brown colors, like a red/brown), what do you think?
What color should I paint the front door!
Red! Maybe like a burnt red. 🙂
My first choice would be a turquoise/blue shade. Second choice would be yellow. And third choice red. 🙂 or maybe a sage green color? I love doors that pop!
PURPLE!
Turquoise!

Oh, I love that, Mike! I’m a sucker for orange.
Please do orange or LIME!! Maybe not lime, it would make me want a Popsicle
Go with a shade of red – it would really pop nicely with that color of stucco.
I would choose a shade of red
ok, another question, would you leave the trim around it white and just do the color on the door, or color the whole thing?
I would say just the door- I like that orange color your husband posted the picture of too.
Apparently FB doesn’t like my comments cause they keep disappearing!!
I say red like a deep true red!! I want to paint my shutters and my door red!! But I love the orange that Mike posted!!
I think if the house is a greeny brown color, I’d do something like an aqua or the orange.
yellow
I’d have to agree with Mike. I also like the deep red.
I really like the orange or the red.
