Put you some containers and plant some flowers.. Shutters would be nice. You can buy the plastic ones at Lowe's or Home Depot.. Or have someone cut you out some interesting shaped ones and you paint them black . You have a nice house. I like the brick or whatever the bottom is. -
I love the red!!!!!!! Just add a couple of pots of red geraniums and it will be gorgeous!!!! -
Love the red door -
I like the red, I would add some red flowers in pots around the steps and some taller plants in the garden and some shutters to add interest. -
i love the red door,i have a red door my self, -
Love the suggestions above, so excuse the rudimentary drawing, but this is a sketch of what those ideas would look like put into a visual. Just like decorating an interior, spread the same color around and it will tie everything together! Love the door and think it's a great start! -
-
Leslie D. great drawing!! -
Thanks, Becky. I draw a good game, but I really need to do this with my own house...My door has been primed, but unpainted for 3 years now, to the point that the primer is cracking...LOL
-
Why is it sometimes easier to solve someone else's problems than to know how to handle your own? Love the drawing, Leslie D. -
Nice Drawing Leslie! The Black Shutters and Window Boxes really do a great job of dressing things up, but I still think I'd use Crepe Myrles at the two corners of the house...LOL Love the Pots on the porch.... -
I couldn't draw crepe myrtles well enough to try. Drawing with a mouse has its limitations in MS paint...LOL
-
Oh my goodness Leslie D--I love it! I think you just made my day! -
Ellen H., it's not solving the problems that's the issue; it's following through on the solutions that is the problem...................takes a lot of time to follow through on the solutions.
-
Takes lots of money, too...and I keep spending all of mine on cool mid-century furniture that I find at auction....LOL
-
Can you paint the grey stone first? So maybe it will blend with the door? -
Love what Leslie's picture showed! We have a bright red front door also but I chose black for our back doors b -
How do you do that Leslie, you always come out with something amazing....i need some like that to do my projects -
I just use the Microsoft Paint Program (if you have a Microsoft product, it should be on your computer). Just open the picture of your room/house in that program, and it has everything you need for basic drawing, using your mouse. Just play around in it, it's easy to learn. You can also download Google Sketch-Up for free, but it's more time-consuming, and a little more difficult to learn.

thanks Leslie, i do have that just dont know how to use it ..
-
Love the sketch that Leslie did!!!! Do it all in real time! -
Racheal, I saw the other post about doing your own siding and I was actually embarassed that I offered you advice. Anyone who will climb a ladder that tall to do siding on your own should be advising me, not the other way around. You're doing great on your own. And when I saw the pictures on your blog of your farm with the red barn in the background, the red door made perfect sense.
-
Ellen H--I really appreciated your advice and I asked for it! It's one thing to do the construction work, it's another to design and decorate it. I am so grateful for everyone's input and am sure to ask again what people think!
-
So how is the project coming? New photo's? Any additions?
-
Going to post a new one today!

I love the red door! I love a bold color on a focal point with more neutral shades, unlike some who go over the top and paint the whole house some glaring color...nice job.
