[Martin Gray]

[Lynn Normington]

Jill I would say white nice and shiny 😀

[Warren Beard]

Jill why don’t you use it as a feature and paint it to look old as if it was an antique door or something? While your customers wait at the door they can admire your work!

(sorry I’m presuming you work from home and have customers coming around 🙄 )

For a start Jill, I don’t think you need quite as big a sign as that to direct people to your front door 😉

As for your door colour I think I’d stick with green as it compliments the brickwork and you could pick out the panels and beading in tints or shades of green,

[Robert Lambie]

nice big house house there Jill…

in many years to come i see you sitting out there in the sun, on your rocking chair doing some knitting like Olivia from The Waltons. 😉 😀

Ide say same, green ties in with the roof, but if were me ide go for a nice Gloss white. 😀

[Phill Fenton]

I’d paint it red – but don’t do what I did a few years ago…

I painted the door of my unit and when I went home at the end of the day the paint was still a bit tacky – however, I couldn’t leave the door open all night so was forced to lock up and go home before it had finished drying.

Next day, I couldn’t get the door open because the door to the door frame. I had to borrow a crow bar to get the door open 😳

[Robert Lambie]

:lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

this reminds me of the old joke…

Whilst handing him a tin of green gloss paint, A Guy tells his new Handy Man;-

"Can you paint my Garage and my Porch green, whilst i go for a walk?"

On returning the Handy Man is now mowing the lawn and the Guy says…

"how did you get on with the painting earlier?"

handy man replies…

"yeh no problems mate, all done. one thing though, it isnt a Porch, its a Fararri"

😀

I think you’ll find that’s a real sign! lol Hammered onto her front porch 😀 After all she is a vinyl expert

And i like Martins idea of stripping it back would look nice

[David Rowland]

Oh nice BIG house, see us brits have to put up with this small island

[RayRosher]

one of these days Ill actually look at a picture befoere I make a comment
How about srtipping the door back, and painting the inner panel the same color as the roof

[Steve Morgan]

I like the door style, it’s similar to a popular door style used over here in the 30’s.
Dark green sounds good, I’m really crap at colour combinations so I often look at this Adobe site for inspiration.

To answer Dave’s PM:
This is what my back door looks like.
😳
You can see how bad my roof was.
I am also going to re-do my windows with glass etch.
The man is coming back and using the rest of the roof material to re-side my office.
My house is a Cape Cod, built in 1930.
You can come visit anytime, Nik!
Plenty of room here.
We also think there’s a ghost in the front bedroom.

To go with the roof and the white fence I would paint the main body White and the panels Green………….if not then a kind of as the sun if half setting Orange.

Jill with a back door like that I’m sure Mr Rowland will add his own kind of spin on it…………

[Harry Cleary]

Shiny Deep Rich Blue…..it will describe the occupant perfectly! 😀

thanks jill, the emphasis on ‘visit’ is very wise :lol1: :lol1:

[Peter Normington]

If you can wait, I suggest we organise "a paint Jill’s door meet," maybe next year, as an alternative to signuk, all you need to do Jill, is provide Irish Whiskey, Scotch Broth, and some scotch bonnet chili dishes, 😀

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Sure! Come over next May and you can all help me babysit.
I have held a few meets here before, and there are motels just down the street.

I asked about about the back door colours? what do you think I am ?

With regards Spin, no they have hinges Nigel.

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Finally got the job done.
It’s been just insane here between signs and trying to get the house ready for the pending arrival (switching bedrooms, wallpapering painting all that fun stuff)
I painted the door white yesterday and this morning put up my new knocker.
I traded a paint job (which I’d normally charge about $25 for) for this knocker.
Client owns a hardware store, I told him to just pick me out one.
Told him I wanted something sort of like Jacob Marley’s ghost.
He looks more like a gay D!ck Van Dyke.
