These doors really “light my fire", as Jim Morrison would say. If you really want to spruce up your home’s
curb appeal, think about painting your front door or getting a unique style/material
of door. Check out some of my colorful,
funky finds.
Just for further proof, I do practice what I preach. My office door happens to be an electric
pink (first photo below), and my home has a soft yellow front door to accent its gray main color.

If you’d like to get down and dirty and DIY, here’s a quick step by
step guide of how to paint your own door.
1.
Take your door off!! Trust me, just do it… it will be much easier
in the end.
2.
Remove all the hardware (knobs, hinges, peep
holes, etc.)
3.
Tape off any exposed glass
4.
Prime the ENTIRE door. Even under where the hardware was!
5.
Wait for the primer to dry, then fill any cracks
with caulk. Once caulk is dry, prime
over it.
6.
Sand with a fine grit sandpaper. This will really make the door look expertly
done.
7.
Sweep off all dust and residue, and PAINT the
door! If you want to spruce up the
interior of your home (and the color you’ve chose melds with your interior
spaces), paint the inside, too.
8.
Use a roller on the flat parts, and a brush to get
into the crevices. You will probably
need to do several coats. Make sure you
let each coat dry before doing a new one.
9.
Apply the door, and viola, facelift
accomplished!
