Jumpin' on the Door Paintin' Band Wagon

A little while ago, I got two coupons for free pints of paint. Perfect amount to paint a door. Scott has always been determined to paint our front door red. We got some red rock paint, but decided that the middle of winter was not the best time to paint the door. Then we seriously started looking at houses, and we decided to wait until we had a house to paint the door.

This project wasn't a has to be done to move in project. While we were changing the locks, my SIL decided that she would take on this project for us. Didn't take too much to convince me on that one!

After (sorry this pic is so dark)

Our house has an old door for now, so painting the door gave the door new life. I was hoping that the painting would bring the house a little more up to date, but the screen door kinda hides the door. 

Now, you can see the door! We decided not to paint those diamonds into order to do something to them. My MIL votes for a stain. I am kinda thinking an accent color. I would love to hear your thoughts. There are those dark screw in the middle, so think about that before you weight in your choice of what we should do.

My favorite part of this project, no cost! And the fact that my SIL graciously did the work for us.
