My sister bought her first house. On the walk through with her- she mentioned that she hated the inside of the front door. Instead of having her trash it and start over, I offered to fix it and polish it up! The previous owners had dogs, and they definitely did a good number scratching up this beautiful door.
Now normally I stain wood- but this project isn't for me. And my sister and I decided a nice bright color would really make the area stand out. We tested out a few samples before we bought our paint. The color we ended up with was Ralph Lauren Hotel Du Cap. We got a quart- and we probably only used half of it.
I sanded down the entire door and side panels. I evened out the scratches- some by sanding, others by filling with wood puddy. Then- started painting!
The color is somewhere between a blue and a green- the lighting really changed the way the color of the door looks like in the above pictures. All around- it definitely makes the entry way stand out!
