Side Door Transformation on a Tight Budget

Progress on the house is coming along. Check out how I transformed the side entrance/carport on a super tight budget.
Here's what I started with.
I started by cleaning out the carport and giving the aluminum siding a really good scrubbing. It’s amazing how even just a cleanup and clean out can make a huge difference. After cleaning, I removed the dated screen door and scrubbed and polished the solid wood door behind it.
Typically, pretty much every DIY project I attempt at the flip house takes twice as long and makes me sweat twice as much as originally anticipated.
Here's what the side entrance looks like now!
It's amazing what a difference new hardware, some paint and a good scrubbing can make.
What do you think of the transformation?
Enjoyed the project?

Just be aware that old doors have a round hole where the old door knob was. The new door knobs have a square thingy that won't enter the round hole.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Can I paint melamine peeling kitchen cabinets? If yes, how? Thanks
Is this an exterior door? I don’t see a deadbolt or a lock on the lever?
but you didn't show or tell us how to replace the door knobs?? Unless I missed it somewhere
