Front Door Makeover and Giveaway!

We've had some GORGEOUS weather here for August!

So last weekend I decided to take advantage and work on a project that I've had all the supplies for, just waiting for the beautiful weather.

I treated myself to a curb appeal project by

painting my front door AND adding vinyl numbers!

I've been seeing this trend all over like Chris did here and Sarah did here and couldn't wait to do it to our house. As much as I would have liked to paint our front door black, it just wouldn't work with our colors - so I had to stick with white on the door and black for the numbers. But I'm just thrilled with how it turned out!

First I scrubbed down my nasty front door with Soilax (sorry you have to see this - it's the only door to our house that gets used)

I didn't get any pictures while I was painting, but I used a roller and a sponge brush to paint. This was actually really easy since my door was already white. I did two coats to cover up all the scuff marks.

Next came the FUN part! My vinyl numbers that I ordered from Kim at Uppercase Living. This was my first time ordering from UpperCase Living and Kim did a great job helping me design exactly what I needed!

It brings a smile to my face every time I see it.! (I just need to get a new door handle and wreath and I'll be set!)
