Front Doors: Dreaming in Color

We’re painting our front door.  Actually our hallway and stairway too, but that’s not nearly as sexy.  Where did I head when I first started researching front door colors?  As if you even had to ask– my Curb Appeal board on Pinterest, of course.  Aside from how the front door looks from the curb, it also matters how it looks on the inside {‘pretty on the inside’ works for doors as well as people, did you know that?} so I had lots on my mind when I started scouting out front door ideas!  So many colors, designs, and styles…

But first, the one image that takes my breath away and quite literally makes my heart skip a beat:

I don’t know what it is.  Maybe the sharp black door contrasting with the crisp white trim?  The light pouring in?  The gorgeous stairs and griege wall color?  It makes me feel good, it seems to define my style in a way I’m not sure words could. Here’s another example of a black door with white trim, so pretty and classic.

I wonder if the owners of the next home would let me move in ASAP?  More dark door love, more white trim, plus some rustic touches like the brick floor.  As much as I adore color, I’d love to come home to an entryway like this one!

Just in case you didn’t catch it before, I love black doors and white trim.

Wanna know what else I love?  Moravian star pendants!  And this one has one right about the door.  Pinch me.

Our home is a colonial style, circa 1967 or so.  If I did want a bold color for a front door, it’s refreshing to know it would look good on a more traditional style home:

Ahhhh… who knew front doors could be so inspiring?  I wish I had more than one, just so I could paint them in various colors!  And also?  If I had more than one front door it would mean I’d have more than one house and it would most likely be at the beach.

Just some food for thought.  All my front doors.  And where they’d be located.  😉
