Choosing Front Door Colors

Have you ever sat and stared at color samples with a blank stare and felt like saying… uh, I dunno?  I know I have and I'm supposed to be a pro.  But sometimes color choices can be downright hard!  But it really is important, right?  I mean the future happiness of our family could depend on this.

There must be some way modern technology can help with this.  Right?  Maybe there is.

I decided to try a little Photoshop magic on a picture I had.  I wanted to see what a difference changing the front door color made.  Take a look!

Pretty neat, huh?  Which one is your favorite?

    Loving the black door… that is what I want when I get a new door this summer.

  5. Definitely the black followed by the yellow.

  6. I love the black as well and am curious what you would choose for the inside/reverse side of the doors.

  7. Black, absolutely. A dark maroon might look nice also.

What is your breakfast style?
