Look how cheerful this first example is! Beautiful paneled double doors painted a fun turquoise color with a matching metal pendant light to match. Pretty pink flowers pop while a furry friend waits to greet friends!

Another gorgeous arch leads to a paneled door painted in a soft green. Note the hand-turned door bell in the middle of the door. I want one of these for my front door.

How welcoming is this Dutch door in pale blue – with a cute and furry host to say hello!
Yes! I love the yellow door against the pale aqua house. If this doesn’t make passers-by smile, I don’t know what will.

After painting your door a fun color, make it stand out even more with a fun flower as opposed to a wreath! The door is already appealing since it’s arched, but the whimsy factor was elevated. I think I might put a flower on my door this summer.

Before I can paint my door, the weather needs to warm up just a wee bit more. In the meantime I’ll head out to the yard to pick up all the sticks that have fallen from the spring storms!

I have got to paint mine too, thanks for the ideas, the last one would certainly make for a nice greeter,lol!! Love my book.
One of my decorating goals is to have a Dutch door. I just love them but have never had the right house to install one. But it isn’t over until the fat lady sings.
I like the two front doors from London. I’d love to walk through a neighborhood like that. One of my favorite memories of my visit to Italy was walking through the neighborhoods and admiring the doors. Some were so tall! And they had the doorknobs in the center of the door. Loved it! Thanks for reminding me of my trip.
I’ve been putting it off but I definitely HAVE to paint our front door this year. You have inspired me 🙂
These door color’s makes me happy.
