I asked this question on Instagram but wanted to still get the thoughts from the rest of you. I am thinking of painting our house door in a contrast color. Right now it’s white. A shabby chic but not in a pretty peeling sort of white.
Do I re-painted in classic white again? It’s timeless and like clothes, I know this is about to sound cheesy but, goes with anything. Or do I paint it in a bold accent color? Actually blue. Well cobalt to be exact.
Never done it before but it’s one of those things that has crossed my mind for years going back to seeing the odd one growing up in London. My mind is probably made – well about eighty percent, but I’d love to hear if you did it and if you did, were there any regrets?

No regrets. Our front door is orange. We are not afraid of color. Our house is an old bungalow The siding is yellow & our metal roof is red. With accents of other colors. You can always paint over if you don’t like the color. Do it!!!

I say go for it! I know you love cobalt (some pics of cobalt jackets from your site come to mind) and it will make you happy every time you see it. And if not, you can always paint it white again. But I think you’ll like it. Also, Eileen–I LOVE orange doors so cheers to you and your orange door! 🙂

If your exterior walls are bright white then the cobalt would make a great contrast.
