Your heart is the right place then :) Enjoy your home and when you can plant some shrubs for curb appeal . Ah! Ah! you beat me to it :))

Love the doors! Twig heart has to go. Too cluttered.

Looks great!!

I have a red door and I reckon yours is much nicer than mine! Yeah, change the numbers to something just as bold and I think you are on a winner! Be brave be bold!

I love the changes you made!

You picked a great red tone! In fact, I like it so much I will be picking up a paint chip to see how it may look on my door.

Love the red door! I have been wanting to change mine from dark green to red. Thank you for sharing the details on paint color.

I hope something in the attachment works, i guess.

I would remove the storm door altogether and put two big black planters on either side of the door.

I would remove the storm door all together. Bold numbers, door knockerl and a large black cast iron planter to hold summer plantings and in the winter to showcase greens. Front storm doors should be banned if you are going for curb appeal. Love the red.

I love it --my husband and i are having the "storm door" discussion. I hate that you can't see the door color with a white storm door. I never thought of painting it the door color.

I would add a much bigger light / numbers and a large red or black pot with something tall on the right side. Plant red flowers across the front. That way everything is bold --like the door color!

It looks awesome! I love that you matched your storm door to the red on your front door. Change your house numbers to something bolder and black. Your red and black accents are so classy. Now…red geraniums would be the frosting on the cake!

I've been pondering whether to paint my storm door the same color as the front door and now I know - yes! Funny thing, I was thinking about red too.

I like both of them red! I think adding more red accent around the house might look nice also.

Question. We also have a red door, but instead of a storm door we have a screened door. I plan to paint the frame red to match the door. What do I do with the black screening? Paint it? Leave it? Has anyone done this? Thanks.

@kath245, I would leave the screen black.

The whole scheme is spot on. I love the house paint with the roof, brick, and door color. I agree the others who have said add a much larger pot on the step, a larger light, and bold house numbers. The way the house is set back a bit means everything needs to be big enough to contribute to the whole. Well-placed trees will go a long way to framing the house and creating some sense of being anchored in the landscape rather than floating in lawn. That said, yes, keep the storm door red. :)

Nice, I never thought of painting mine thanks for tip.

My front door at the lake was red (beige siding)....I changed it to orange. Now that's something, but I really like it. I wonder how the paint on the storm door will hold up, are you in a moderate climate?

I would leave it! That is a great red! Add the same colored house numbers as the exterior light. Maybe add vinyl lettering "welcome" on the door if you are unsure of the solid color?

About the storm door removal :(
I have noticed a lot of houses without storm doors and some people even had them removed ,here is my take on them, it depends on the climate first of all then there is the added security when strangers come knocking the storm door is our divider and shield, then when there is a need to have the door opened and if there are pets or small children in the house that have the tendency of wondering off storm doors act as a barrier , they prevent bugs and even rodents from coming in , if there are no windows in the room we can just open the door and lock the storm doors pull the glass up and voila fresh air is allowed to come in .

Love the two doors in that gorgeous shade of red!

I vote to leave it and add a large black door knocker and use black planters on either side of your door. Looks great.

I love the red door and storm door. Perfect color. Now, I'd pick out the darkest of the brick's color,( a dark bronze) and paint just that wall of siding that is surrounding the door frame......get rid of the fussy stuff and put some super handsome, overscale brushed aluminum stand-off house numbers next to the door. Paint the knocker aluminum color, too. One much larger planter in charcoal with some bold, architectural plants---cannas, etc, would really make this entrance magazine worthy, I think! (I'd buy a black leafed Tropicana with its Chinese red/orange flower OR a striped canna....it may have an orange flower, but, it's would make the red pop even more!

I like the red, too! It almost makes the storm door disappear, which is a good thing;). I might even think of red/black accent trim around the sidelights, as I think they look a bit too much white; maybe planters would work, but I might put up some red tape for a few days and look at it....goodness knows you don't want to have to overpaint red!

Wow thanks for all great advise and compliments! Red plants are in the pots and there are many red flowers which will bloom over the summer. I have been thinkibg of painting the larger flower pot red, but white and red flowers will bloom...I have thought of vinyl stencilling of welcome, but it would need to be vertical, as the horizontal space is covered by the centre bar in the storm door.
The storm door is staying, a/c is nice for those humid days (we are in Nova Scotia, Canada) but a fresh breeze is great, natural light coming in is also great. Our pets can look out and lay in the sun, and the deer who wander the yard are safe! :)
And like Genevieve says, it does add a sense of security when you open your solid door. We live in a quite town, where you can leave your solid door open and enjoy just glass and a screen separating you from the outside world.
The screen is also black, it comes down from the top, so kids can bang on glass, dogs can scratch and no ripped screens.
Bonus is a nice breeze at night and the screen keeps those June bugs out!
As mentioned new numbers are ordered, but looking at the house, it may be time to say goodbye to the wicker heart :(
If anyone knows where I could get a magnetic door knocker, that would be great...hubby does not want to drill holes in a new door:)

I'm so glad to see an example of a storm door painted to match the front door. I will be painting my house eventually (probably 5 years) and want a red door, but didn't like the idea of a white storm door interfering with the main door color. I love it! I like having a storm door, and mine has a pull-down screen, so I can leave the main door open in the summer and get extra light and air in the house.

Beautiful door with storm door. I'm in NC and recently had an energy audit to help with strategies to save energy. I was told that my solid wood door was not a good insulator, so it was recommended that I add a storm door. After so many years without one, I was looking for an aesthetic solution. Yours is a great example of beauty plus energy saving. Thanks for the inspiration.

No drilling holes hey!
No problem just get some magnetic tape and stick a piece to the door knocker and since you are near the sea and Schooners here is a perfect one for your
home .

I wish you all a great evening with this beautiful song

Great idea. Looks wonderful

Great idea! I have a red door using that same color. You may want to consider top coating with the paint mixed with an added UV inhibitor. The bottom half of my door gets strong afternoon sun and the red has faded considerably.

I love the red on red, but I have a beautiful wood door on my 1900 house and hate the idea of painting it. Anyone have any suggestions how to add a storm door?

I like it very much. I just painted my door red too. In Feng Shui a red door is supposed to attract money. I painted mine very red in case they were right.

love the doors--keep them both red--would add numbers in a brushed "silver" metal--pots in white with red plants--bingo--you're a winner

I to love the red doors. They look seemless. But with stong colors should come strong accesories. The pastel flowers and small planters don't do it justice. I would place a couple large pots or urns with lots of purples, deep blues, bright yellows on either side or somthing fun like a small wagon or wheel barrow full of bright colors. Love what you have done. Thankyou for letting me play decorator.

Agree with talithia. Love the door.

it s beautiful, I am thinking of painting mine black hope it turns out as nice as yours

I love it! I've been thinking about what to paint my front door & was leaning toward yellow, but I might just consider your red, it looks very classy, nice job! :o)

thanks for the idea! I've hated my storm door for EVER but we really need it up in this climate. why I never thought of painting it to match I will never know. it is just metal right now but it will soon be painted! thanks for sharing and I love the color you chose as well as the rest of the "trimmings" :) great job!

Love the red doors! I agree with taking down the vine heart. I would try switching the planters around as the large black planter would add a touch of black next to your large window that does not have shutters.

Are your new house numbers going to be gold or black? You could paint the current country themed house plaque black and mount the numbers on it if they are gold. Numbers should be black or match door hardware. Can't tell from pics, is it brushed nickel or gold?

A larger porch light or maybe just paint yours black to see how it looks. Definitely no country accents. Looking good!

The numbers will be black, heart is down, pic to follow when numbers come in mail!
Thanks everyone!

I think the red door is very nice. Add some red flowers around the house to make it pop.

I wonder if someone who uses photoshop or olioboard (which I don't) might volunteer to "paint" the areas around the doors - the sidelights and the rest of the trim - in the same color to see if that might make that entrance REALLY pop!

Great look..now I know what to do with mine.

Nice job Mich! I love the red entry and storm doors, I never would have thought of painting the storm door to match but it looks great. I would suggest two of the same planters in black and if you want a door knocker go chrome or polished steel. Post pix when you have everything you want in place.

Leave it red. The storm door should be the color of the sidelights (white) but in your case, your storm door has a horizontal bar in the middle so painting it red so as not to detract from the front door color was a good choice!

The red looks great.

Agree, looks great. I'm getting ready to paint my house and door. I did not think you can paint a storm door. I like mine for security (we get lots of door to door sellers). The twig heart is too thin in scale for the front. Agree with the others, let that one go and go with bolder, chunkier accents. I take it you used Behr primer for the storm door too?

Love it! Now i know what it is I don't like about the house I'm buying (at least the outside. I'll be looking for more ideas for the inside) I have lots of ideas now!
