\"DIY<\/p>\n

We bought our first house just a little over a year ago.\u00a0 It’s an early 90’s ranch and that’s exactly what we got.\u00a0 The amount of oak in this house is enough for anyone to vomit.\u00a0 It was “move in ready” if you were wearing a white bodysuit and mom jeans with Doc Martens and a plaid shirt around your waist.\u00a0 It was “move in ready” if you were sitting bug-eyed in front off the TV watching Nirvana Unplugged.\u00a0 You get it, right?!\u00a0 SO 90’s!\u00a0 We knew our updating would be little by little.\u00a0 We’ve been making small changes here and there.\u00a0 Slowly our house is making it’s way out of the 90’s.<\/p>\n

Anyway, there was a house around the corner that had been flipped and remodeled.\u00a0 It had a fresh new look on the outside and I loved it!\u00a0 The color was perfect and now I wanted to paint my house.\u00a0 We aren’t able to paint the whole thing right now so Tim suggested we just paint the door and maybe that would hold me over until spring.\u00a0 He was right!\u00a0 We took that sun bleached teal door and painted it black.\u00a0 I couldn’t be more happy!\u00a0 I’m so excited, I can not wait to decorate my porch and new door for Halloween.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n

-A water based satin exterior paint in Black (one quart allowed for 4 coats on the outside and 3 on the inside)<\/p>\n

-Primer (We didn’t use primer.\u00a0 Our door was a very light color and we were painting it black)<\/p>\n

-A small foam brush<\/p>\n

-A 6″ high density foam roller<\/p>\n

-Sand paper (small grit)<\/p>\n

-Painter’s Tape<\/p>\n

-Kick Plate in Bronze<\/p>\n

\"Front<\/a><\/p>\n

We’re not professionals by any means but I think the door turned out great and we have a few tips.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Take off hardware and tape off hinges.<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0 Sand areas that may be uneven.\u00a0 (Old drips, etc.)<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0 Use primer (if needed)<\/li>\n
  4. \u00a0 With your foam brush paint all the inset parts first.\u00a0 It doesn’t have to be perfect.\u00a0 You’ll do more coats.<\/li>\n
  5. \u00a0 Take the roller and roll the inside panels first then roll the outsides.<\/li>\n
  6. \u00a0 Let dry.<\/li>\n
  7. Repeat steps 4-6 as many times as you need.\u00a0 We did 4 total coats.<\/li>\n
  8. Replace hardware and kick plate and you’re done!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"DIY<\/a><\/p>\n

    Here’s the before and after.\u00a0 I love the way this door turned out!\u00a0 It changes the look of the whole house.\u00a0 Did you makeover your door?\u00a0 What color did you paint it?!\u00a0 Follow me on Instagram<\/a> to keep up to date with all of my projects!<\/p>\n
