My son and grandson surprised me by coming over to sand down and paint my front door. It has needed some care for a couple years and I wasn't up to doing it myself.
The lady at the hardware store warned me that this red paint would look pink until it dried and she was right. It is a rosy red and just what I wanted.
After they left I mowed the grass since it was a nice cool day.
The art quilters are coming today so lots of fun ahead!!
My front door is also red. And right now it needs to be washed. I think we put about four coats of paint on it when we painted it 5 years ago and it still looks great. Our front door is used constantly as it is the door to come into our house, we do not have a detached garage. It's a great gift you received from your son and grandson.
How wonderful for you Wanda. I recently worked on my front door (needs the second coat whenever the winds decides to stop blowing) anyway, I also painted mine red and I LOVE IT! I had thought about the red for a long time and am wondering why I waited so long. Makes me very happy when I pull into the drive. Hats off to your thoughtful fellows!!
What a treat to be gifted with a freshly painted front door. Every time you pull into your drive I know it will make you smile. As Libby from TN. says "That red door is YOU." I can hardly wait to come a knockin' at your red door.
Nothing better than a colored front door, and to have the guys show up and do the work, well, even better. You'll have to share a shot when it's all up and your pots are all blooming on your front steps!
Excellent gift! I love a red door and had one at my house in Atlanta. Now I have a bright red metal roof, which makes the old white vinyl siding shine and look a lot cleaner and whiter than it really is.
What a fun surprise!!!
