The Many Lives of Our Front Door.



I'm stumped with regards to my front door. It's the home's original door and I really like it lot. For efficiency reasons, I've considered replacing it but I really like the charm and I find it suits the home well so it's stayed over the years.

When I first bought the house, I painted the door green.Why, I'm not so sure, since I don't even particularly like green but I really liked how it turned out! It took some time for some others (my parents), but most came to love it. Others not so much. It was pinned a lot on Pinterest so I think some shared in the love!

Next, I decided to paint it a bright peacock blue. It was terrible.

Then, I decided on a soft blue grey. Even worse.

Worst of all, the blue grey paint started bubbling shortly after I painted it and I ended up having to strip the door with some scrapers and a heat gun. I remember that day so well...

It was also back in October so repainting, as the weather was starting to get colder, was not a great idea. Therefore, the bare wood door stayed that way all winter, into the spring and it's still that way today.


Now, I'm appealing for your help. Do you have any great front door colors that could work for me? Keeping in mind that I have a charcoal grey trim around the windows, door frame and the porch railing.
The other option is sanding the door down and staining it. It could look really cool but a bit more work.
I'm seriously at a loss. I need someone to tell me what to do! And while you're at it, I need new house numbers and a door mat :)
