Pink Door Shabby-chic Style Entry

When the Merrills bought the house, the aluminum siding and plastic trim were almost a deal breaker. Frances had to remind herself that a simple coat of paint would freshen up the exterior — and conceal its shortcomings. "We painted our house black to hide all of its flaws," she says. But this presented its own challenge. "It's hard to get a door color to go with a black house that doesn't look weird or like Halloween," she says. It was her assistant who suggested pink, inspired by a favorite front door she had seen in New Orleans. "I loved it immediately," Frances says. Frances ended up favoring the aluminum siding because of how easy it is to clean; a good hosing down is all that's needed. Door paint: Wildflower; exterior paint: Midnight, both by Benjamin Moore
