paint applied...

I had a lovely front door that everyone admired, but when the topic was discussed, it was agreed it needed to be replaced, mainly for safety concerns though it wasn't the best thing for energy efficiency either.  But do you know the cost of front doors?  It is enormous for anything that has any bit of character, design and glass in it.  I felt to spend loads of money on a front door just because was not something I should do.  So when I went shopping I had to narrow the selection by price.  One of my very nice friends purchased it for me, because as he said, if I was his daughter he would not like what I had and would feel it needed to be replaced.  I got a basic fiberglass door with a narrow amount of etched glass in the center.  My contractor friend installed it for me sometime last year in the fall, if I remember correctly.  I can't believe it has taken me this long to get around to it, but over the July 4th Holiday weekend this year, I decided to tackle the project of painting it...here is the finished product...I love how it turned out even though painting in the hot high humidity of Texas were not optimum painting season and created some issues...I absolutely like the color, just don't look too close at the paint job!
