I spotted this photo with these gorgeous red doors (Benjamin Moore Red Rock) and knew immediately that I wanted warm red doors in our house.
I headed to Benjamin Moore to check out paint strips. Our space doesn’t have as much natural light as the inspiration photo so I went with a shade lighter–Benjamin Moore Hot Apple Spice. It’s very similar to a Sherwin Williams color that we used in our Seattle house. If you have a Sherwin Williams nearby check out Fireweed.
After painting the front door I didn’t love it. I decided to live with it for a while. It wasn’t until I painted the storm/screen door that I finally loved the transformation.
Our front porch went from this:
to this:
The next step will be to paint house numbers on the door. Something like this:

Porch Light: The Home Depot Zinc Wall Lantern
I LOVE IT! It looks great! I think my favorite doors will always be red and black. I think they are no fail, and you did choose a great color of red!

Thanks Katie! I have two more doors to paint when I get another burst of energy.
