Rescue is the word that I wasn’t intending on needing until we got our house painted this year and noticed that the front door needed to be a priority so that we didn’t lose it!
Really….lose it?
Really!!!
It was a stained door that is west facing and through the years has taken a beating from the sun!
Although we decided to have the exterior of the house painted by professionals, I decided that I would rescue the front door.
I am really bad about remembering the BEFORE picture so this was taken after I sanded the door and began prepping it .
There was a decision to be made stain or paint.
Paint, won!
My general thinking after rescuing the door was that paint would give a little more protection from the elements going forward.
So after some deliberation over what color works best with the house….here is the finished door.
Pumpkins and all, Happy Fall!
