I loved the monogram’s blue accent so much that I decided to take it a step further and paint the whole door. This turned out to be WAY easier than I had anticipated! I actually did the whole project during my little guy’s nap.
I purchased a sample from Home Depot to make sure I got the right color and that it would not end up looking purple. I can’t imagine anything worse than a big purple front door. I used a regular paint brush and did the whole door with the sample. I was shocked. I am going to buy more to do the side door and maybe the panel next to the front door.
This is where I need your help. Do I paint all the white in the above pic blue? Do I leave the door frame and paint the right panel? Do I paint blue accents on the window frame and square inset and leave the rest white? Or do I leave it as is? Please help!!! I did a little altering in photoshop to give you a preview. Keep in mind the color is a little off and the shaping is not perfect.
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3

Remember this snow pic? It will have to do as the before shot. And…After. Now I am dying to get blue shutters to match!

I like option 2!!! Snow, what is that? It is 90 degrees here today, crazy!
Option 2! I think it looks best! On option three there is just too much blue! I can’t wait to see your shutters, they will look awesome!
Your lesson was so good yesterday and I think our girls had a lot of fun with it! It made them think and compare things in their lives and that is always the best!
I agree with the others. Option 2 is my favorite! Option 1 would be okay but option 3 is too much blue.
Option 2 is my fave!!
I agree, option 2 is best. I like the white trim!
I agree with the others option 2 is the best.
Option 2 and the blue shutters will look awesome. Now I am so inspired. I can’t wait to do my polka dot pots.
I will be the odd-ball out and say that I like option #1..
Thanks for asking! Hee hee = )
I think you should leave it like it is or option #1. Nice color blue
I love option #1 or just leaving it alone! the white makes it look clean…I am getting shutters this weekend too (as soon as the foot of snow we got this morning melts)! So excited to see which option you choose!
I like option one!
I think I like the second one with the blue accent. Hard choice but I know I wouldn’t got with the everything blue.
I actually like it how it is. I wouldn’t change anything.
I like it just the way it is. I wouldn’t change it!!
I like option one. Option three is too much blue and option two is a bit too country for me. I think I would like it better if option two had the whole lower panel painted instead of just the trim. Does that make sense.
Sorry, I just discovered your blog, I hope it’s not too late to vote…
All or nothing! How weird to just paint parts of it. It is like painting a room..you paint the WHOLE room and leave the base, crown and trim all WHITE!! I think that would look the chic-est!!
I love option 2 or just leave it how it is.
I like it best the way you have it now, option 2 is my next choice. Thanks so much for posting this, it will make it much easier for me when I paint my door! 😉
It looks great. I like Option #2.
New here — but I like option 2! 🙂
2, works wonderful 🙂
option #1
What color is the blue?
I wish I could tell you. The can just says custom color match and I don’t remember what it was from years ago. Sorry.
