Anyway, just wondering cuz I want to paint my door too. Did you take it off the hinges to paint it or just left it up there while you painted?

Like you, I didn't like the bland colour of my oh so suburban front door - it was cream, to go with my boring cream house. So last year I painted my door too - black! Of course! Mine is semi-gloss and it does need cleaning regularly as it shows up every speck of dust and dirt, but still, that's a small price to pay. Next on the list is to paint the house itself - I'm looking at a cafe latte colour, but I'm going to get a painter in for that job, I refuse to do it myself!<br />Have a great weekend AnNicole.Catherine@Simply Naturalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15759159516196213165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402694134300866275.post-50361662560285733272009-05-15T14:43:00.000-05:002009-05-15T14:43:00.000-05:00Looks awesome.
