Boring Exterior Doors Are No More!

We add color and design to our walls and ceilings inside of our homes, why ignore the exterior?
I couldn't stand them any more. The french entry doors on the deck. They were weathered and in need of slight repair to the wood and certainly a paint job. But being a wall stencil designer, I can't help but to want to add design as well.
I decided the plain door needed a bit of "umph". So I added our Raised Plaster Traditional Border Stencil to the bottom of each door. I used common joint compound as the raised medium.
I painted the door and the design with a pretty blue/green paint with beige trim and then replaced the stencil over the raised design and added metallic gold paint to give it a bit of glimmer. What a transformation!
I loved it so much that I decided to give all of my entry doors the same elegant treatment.
Now, all of my doors were uniform in color and design and gave my home a cheery new look.
