Spanish Tile Front Door

/

Remember when Nate’s sister was debating on what color to paint her front door?  (If not, read about it here)…

Well, she went with the popular vote of a darker red and it’s quite pretty…

She chose Valspar’s Spanish Tile.  It took 5 coats and she tells me it could probably use another.  She never wants to paint a door red again….but it’s just so darn pretty and inviting…says the sister-in-law that wasn’t involved in the painting process…


Moral of this red door painting story: Use a tinted primer when painting white door with red paint…or hire it done….

Who has a painting horror story to share?  Anyone inspired to paint their front door?
