Everyone comes to our back door
It's just convenient
Not sayin' that we don't have a great entry/front door
'cause we do
I'll show you that soon
when we finish
painting
and
working
on the front porch
(it's on the growing to-do list)
but I can cross off
painting the back door
Here it is
a few of you guessed the color correctly
lucky?
or
were you peeking at my pinterest?
I took one of my furniture colors
painted, glazed, and clear-coated.
I changed out the door knob/plate
When digging through my box of goodies
I had these 2 choices
you can see which one I picked
I can't believe my painter MR.
let me have the one with sloppy paint
but he did
I am lovin' my fresh new look
beautiful.

Rene,
ReplyDeleteYour door looks fabulous! The color against the white adds contrast and really pops. The hardware you chose is beautifully detailed. (Have I mentioned how much I adore your home?)
Deborah
That door color is amazing! Love your backdoor entrance.
ReplyDeleteRene!!! I LOVE, love, LOVE your back door!!! It is simply beautiful
ReplyDeleteand I like the shabby look of the wood and your door-knob!! The color
is awesome......I think it will be a star in any season!
The big watering can with flowers is wonderful!!! The entrance looks so inviting....I can't wait to see your front door.....your whole house for that matter......
I enjoy your blog so much, and reading about your family, seeing pictures of them, and all your activities.....you have a follower in me for sure!!!
Happy weekend.....Francy
I love the new color and the door knob.
ReplyDeletePainting your door that pretty color made such a difference. It looks so welcoming that guests might never use the front door. Good job! Have a great weekend. Shannon
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your new back door colour! It's really gorgeous as is the wonderful door knob plate. The colour is just perfect for your farmhouse look.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely....I wish I could see your beautiful farmhouse in person. And meet your lovely self, in person, of course :) I think we'd have much in common!
ReplyDeleteGREAT looking door! I LOVE the color..and if the paint on the knob bothers the old boy too much there is always OOPS to remove it...works like a charm! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteRene....it looks beautiful. I would have to come to that back door, also...it's so very inviting!
ReplyDeleteRene, the depression glass dishes are Aqua! Not green or blue. They are like the aqua canning jars. They look gorgeous stacked together or on a white background. Thanks for visiting. Pamela
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Can I come over?...Smiles
ReplyDeleteamazing how simple changes make a big impact...adore the new door with that pop of color...thanks for linking up to fridays unfolded!
ReplyDeletealison
Your door looks just lovely Rene, but then I think it did before too! Same thing here. Our front house entrance is at my front porch, but everyone comes to the back door too (incuding us)!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!
Blessings~
I love the new color on the back door! Would love to paint my front door red, but I think it would drive me crazy when I have it opened into the living room. Great job!
ReplyDeletetot
Just perfect, subtle but perfection. Love the burgundy touches, too. It looks fab and I love the door knob...can't believe your hubby went for the painted one, either. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteOh I love it, love it, love it!! Beautiful back door:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE that color Rene! I actually picked up a pint of a similar color for my front door a few falls ago. I vow to do it this fall and would love to know your steps. This really has inspired me, thanks!
ReplyDeleteFantastic color. I have such a hard time picking blues and greens. The glazing really makes it look old.

Your back door is so pretty Rene. It's such an inviting and pretty place. Now I'm inspired to finish my little back porch. It's also where everybody enters. Diane

I'm loving that turquoise door.

Oh I just LOVE it! Great color! I would've chosen that backplate too. ;).
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to get on the Pinterest bandwagon. I keep requesting an invite but I guess they don't think I'm cool enough to join. I'll have to go on and see if I can find you.
Happy Sunday!

LOVE your door! How do you get that brownish, "dirty" effect? I wanted to do that on a wall of bead board, but my painter didn't know how!
ReplyDeleteYour house is beautiful; thanks for sharing!
Laurel in MN :)
