Red is actually a color that goes perfectly with doors. But hey, time to give it a different shade this time! Trying out a different color is exciting and queasy at the same time since you're not quite used to it. But with the way it went, I'm sure that Jason is very happy after seeing how wonderful it is. Thanks to you! :) <br /><br /><a href="http://allcountyexteriors.com/" rel="nofollow">Roselia Mangione @ All County Exteriors</a> <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677807756941441548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927526976748945841.post-50871826499124066492013-07-04T14:23:34.779-04:002013-07-04T14:23:34.779-04:00Aside from grey, a darker shade of blue will also ...Aside from grey, a darker shade of blue will also look good on your door. Anyway, I think your character has something to do with your choice of color. Just like your previous door color, it is striking but not overwhelming. At the end of the day, beauty is still in the eye of the beholder. Go for the color that will satisfy your senses.Sharron Folkeshttp://www.pricesdoors.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927526976748945841.post-75891732935308609332013-07-01T11:53:32.103-04:002013-07-01T11:53:32.103-04:00I think that the red door looked good to begin wit...I think that the red door looked good to begin with, but against the white siding, it did look too harsh. Gray is definitely a better complement for the house. And I also have to agree with you about how the hardware looks. I like how the “patina” gave it a rustic look that goes really well with the new door color.

I know someone who did it on their door handles indoors and also already has it peeling off too just a year later (which was part of why I didn't do it yet). I was hoping with some research I might be able to find something that would hold up better but so far I haven't seen anything yet. =(Dear Lilliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916503973078592801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927526976748945841.post-63249869849303873152013-06-05T23:01:23.132-04:002013-06-05T23:01:23.132-04:00Thank you so much!

I don't know the name or other info on the shingles but I do know that they were replaced not that long ago and already need to be replaced again so not probably something you would want. =( I will try to ask Jason if he knows the color though!

I wouldn't recommend spray painting hardware that will be outdoors, as the weather (weather hot or cold) will make it peel off...just thought I'd share something I learned the hard way.
