When we moved in 11 years ago, I wanted to change out the ugly, dated metal storm door and the faded light green shutters. Finally, we did this today!
We have a very pale yellow house--it's almost light tan. DH thought black shutters and a black front door would be too much of a contrast. I thought they'd look great. As usual, I was right.
When we took the shutters down to paint them, guess what color they originally were? Yep. Black. Everything is still drying, but we plan to have the shutters up by Monday, after we power wash the house. Our houses get a green mossy film on the north side, so we wash it every summer.
I threw out the ugly storm door, and don't plan to replace it just yet. I'll get a full-glass one, with a black frame if I do.
Once the flowers are planted near the porch, and with a new door mat, it will look great.
