We use the back door most often to leave and enter our home. Shouldn’t it be as welcoming as the front door? I think so. The Doors of Dublin inspired me.
Because the back door connects to the garage this area is shaded and dark. A bright color that can handle the low light is in order. We decided to go with a bright coral color. It reads as a “fire engine red” in the darker light. A coral color in a high gloss paint will also accent the brass kick-plate and door handle.
Here’s the door as I was painting it.
And here’s the after, complete with brass numbers.
Now it cheers me up every time I walk through this door. A nice spot to come home to. Oohh, wouldn’t I love to do this with our front door. Maybe we could start a trend in our neighborhood?
