From the minute I saw our house, I knew it needed one thing - a painted front door. 

The house is beautiful, but the light color of the siding combined with a stark white door was too washed out.  I'd been watching the trend of brightly painted front doors for a while now, and been waiting until I could follow suit.  I'd had dreams about a bright cherry red door, or maybe a happy turquoise.  Unfortunately neither of those colors would look great with our house.  Instead, another color was screaming out to be chosen.
