Painted Back Door
A week or two ago, when it was a nice fall day, I painted our back door.
Today as I weblog, it is much less then 10 diploma's out of doors and snowy.
So, I wager I painted our door at the right time, in any other case it would be a task that would simply should wait until spring.
And truly, I'm no longer sure why it took me goodbye to color it within the first place,
seems it's a very simple assignment.
Seriously, it's that easy!
1 hour 1 pattern length of paint = A beautiful, cheery, welcome.
(Honestly, I suppose the whole process look even much less than an hour)
The lower back door earlier than:
It wasn't even painted good in the first place. It needed a second coat, it had a bad texture to it, and they had even painted all over the door knob.
And as you could see, my canine loves to scratch the heck out of it, trying to tell us all whilst she wants in - I still want to parent out how to placed a stop to that.
So the first aspect I did turned into give the entire door a mild sanding using my little hand sander.
I then used blue painters tape, and taped across the door knob and over the lowest black rubber piece.
Here is the pattern paint that I'm talking about.
You can pick one of these up at Lowes for only a couple greenbacks. However, I'm positive any home development/paint shop could have those.
I just appear to be a large fan of Valspar paint discovered at Lowes.
This color is called, Night Scape.
And actually it's leftover from the wall hook I painted in my boy's Minecraft room.
So that simply goes to reveal you the way far this little pattern size goes.
I poured the paint right into a tray.
And then I just brushed the paint on the usage of a big paint brush.
I'm short so I had to use a stool to get the top of the door. 
I permit it dry for about 20 minutes and then gave it a 2d coat. All the time, leaving the door cracked open as to now not mess up the clean paint.
Now a few things I should add, The Valspar sample paint is an indoor, satin finish paint. So I still need to go over the door with a semi-gloss sealer to protect it from the elements. But that will have to wait another day.
Also, I turned into painting a darkish colour over a darkish shade, so manifestly the usage of a light colour over a darkish one will require an extra coat.
Here is a sneak peek at what the lower back door looks as if now.
I'm excited to percentage more with you all subsequent time.
Our front door is also painted red, but now I think I'll paint it this same blue, since I love it so much.
Again, another day:)
Thanks for preventing through,
Emily
