Curb Appeal-Front Door
I really wanted a new front door for our house, but a couple of thousand dollars wasn’t in our budget.
I decided to call a local building supply place to see if they could switch out the outdated glass in our front door. They said to measure what we currently had and give them the measurement. Lo and behold, they could order me something to switch it out. So I ordered the glass for our door and we had two side lights.
Once it came in, we used a drill to take out the screws around the glass. It came out pretty easy! Then we used a drill to put in the new glass. It looked so much more updated.
Then I decided to paint our front door SW Peppercorn. I used the same exterior/interior paint I used on our bathroom cabinets! I used a brush and a paint roller.
Once the paint was dry; I hung our magnolia wreath on it!

Hope you saved the old beautiful glass.

I would have removed the scuff plate and reinstalled after painting the door.
