Sorry, I don't think it works. I actually thought they were little panes of glass.

Oh, no. I've never seen anyone do that before, and now we know the reason...

And those obviously fake flowers are another hard No.

tatts, did the OP ask for opinions on the floral decor? That would be a hard No.

See Denita's comments for an example of a thoughtful, helpful and kind response.

OP, I happen to agree with Denita. It's great that you tried something different and creative.

Tatts must have a fresh wreath of live flowers on her door every day.

The concept of highlighting areas of a door is fine, but in larger blocks. I love the wreath - obviously high quality, and it stands out nicely against the white door. The perfect accent, IMO.

I can understand your reasoning behind the painted rectangles and their repeating the rectangles of the hardware and sidelights. However, I think a solid colored door would look better. I have to say, though, that the your quality of work is amazing!

You did well staying in the lines, ha. They look like little windows from afar. BUT while I can understand what you are going for I just don’t think it visually works. I’d recommend finding a colour for your door that suits your exterior and painting it all that one colour.

IMO the door was awesome before and as for the other decor it does not suit that door Those squares look like glass in the first pic I can see reflections in them.

Thanks all for the feedback. Going to go with the solid color and remove accents. Our concern was that it was too busy and took away from the clean look of door and wreath so thanks for confirming!

I like your door better without the accent paint. It's a pretty style with classic side windows. Would you consider putting more substantial (taller) plants in your planters (especially the ones right by the door)?

Yea we definitely are looking into plants that do better in shade. We tried marigolds but the back planters don’t get enough sun. Any suggestions?

We did mums last fall and they were great but died over the winter.

Kimberly ferns would be pretty in your planters flanking the door. They do nicely in shade and don't shed all over the place like other fern varieties. Shade-loving impatiens might also work in this space. Mums are tender perennials and often die over the winter.

I think it looks nice with the changes! I like how you got rid of the accents and have some pretty planters by your door.

Personally, I love the bold look the oil rubbed bronze fixtures give the door. The colorful flowers do the complete opposite of that for me. In your situation I would remove the flowers and add a dark welcome mat.

Nope to the squares and place the wreath on a wreath hanger outside the screen door.. It will add depth and texture to the entrance.

You only have one chance to make a good impression and I would suggest you replace your existing wreath with a design that doesn't look like it was purchased at Michaels. And take down the Morning Glory swag too.
