Front Door Face-lift

I have made promises of posting projects for months now. I am finally following through with a post. I am A.D.D about finishing projects and just seem to LOVE starting new ones BEFORE I finish the last. I am FAMOUS for leaving one oh so close to being done I can taste it, yet not following through. Hmmm....wonder what that says about me? I don't even want to analyze! LOL! So I did finish giving my front door a FACELIFT. Here is a pic of before. And while you are looking and saying to yourself, how can she live with this gross and 'country' blue color and a terribly gross looking brass door knob? Remember, we have a side entry garage and I NEVER go in the front door. LOL!

YUCK! I know!

I saw this guy on our brick in the front of the house and couldn't resist the pic. Don't worry I had the zoom lens on!

I started by removing the beaten brass knobs and lock from the door. I spray painted them brushed knickel. Next I used black paint and a paint brush to paint the front door. I debated on spray painting it, however the thought of taking the door off of the hinge and finding something big enough to keep me from getting spray paint all around the door....MADDENING. So, I just did it the good ole fashion way. ;-) My husband checked on me frequently to be sure I didn't have any drips. At first I found it annoying but then when I missed a drip, I was glad he was doing it! =) I also picked up some mums in one of my favorite fall colors for the empty planter. ;-) Here is the after!

What's that? You like my wreath? Want a tutorial on it? Get in your car and RACE to the nearest Costco. I purchased it for 22 buckaroos and noticed last week they'd been reduced to $14! =) You can't buy the supplies that cheap and my time is worth far more these days!

Happy Fall Yall!!!
