Design Dilemma Entry

I need serious help with our front entry.

8 years ago

HVen’t touched the front entry since we moved into our home. Need suggestions on paint for front door and whether or not I should bookend the front door with pots? There is rock trim here and there. Morning and early afternoon sun exposure. Light fixtures are new and I would like to keep them.

Thanks in advance!

Are you also considering painting the eavestroughs?

Nice house! I would do pots-- bigger, simple pots, with plants. Maybe a soft blue/green?

Thank you! Wow....I love that color. Very pretty. ;) The front door opens to a small living room with a huge window overlooking a lake. So....that color might be really nice.
