Red Painted Front Door with PPG Paints

My red painted front door was sponsored by PPG Paints. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

In every house I’ve lived in since becoming an adult, I’ve had a brightly painted front door.  I’ve had yellow, blue, green, and everything in between.  And now I have red!  Last week, my house got a bright red painted front door and I’m so happy with the new and improved curb appeal!

I’m a firm believer that a home should be a reflection of the people who live there and I didn’t feel like our very plain, very boring beige front door was reflecting us well … at least I hope it wasn’t {wink}!  There was nothing terribly wrong with it but it didn’t fit with the bright and cheery color palette in the rest of the house.

I was super excited when Paintzen showed up last week to transform it!

Paintzen is the only company that provides an all-in-one service that includes a digital quote generator and the ability to purchase paint, supplies, and professional painting services all together.  The one-stop shopping means you can effortlessly transform a space in your home!

They prepped the area completely, even removing the hardware and weather stripping from around the door, patched a few spots in the door …

… then got ready to coat the door with PPG Paints!

PPG Paints has recently opened fourteen new stores in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and, along with that venture, they unveiled a paint color collection inspired by the beauty of Texas.  With these new colors, you can easily incorporate Texas-inspired style in your home and highlight the unique tones and architectural styles of the state.

I had a hard time deciding on a color because I loved so many of the colors, from the golden yellow Mariposa to the garden tones of Mexican Jade to the soft farmhouse style of Southern Breeze.  But because I love color {and lots of it!}, I chose Blaze, a bright red color that makes a statement!

After prepping the area, Paintzen started spraying …

… and I was excited after the first coat, getting a glimpse of how it would look when it was all finished.

Painting a door in 95 degree heat and high humidity is no easy task.  A bug even made a trek across the freshly painted door at one point but the professionals from Paintzen had it covered and within a few hours I had the most cheerful front door on the block!

PPG Paints BREAK-THROUGH!® Exterior dries to the touch in 15-20 minutes making it the perfect paint for doors.  It also has a low VOC and a low odor formula, outstanding block resistance, and maintains flexibility to endure extreme bends and deformation without cracking and peeling.  For me, I think that means when my kids throw a basketball at the door or crash into it with their elbows or kick it open with their feet {because we all know kids do that!}, the paint will hold up!

When the door was completely dry, I hung my painted log wreath back up …

… and I won’t lie: I’ve stood and stared at my door quite a bit.  I’ve wanted to change the color since the day I moved in last fall and I’m so happy with how it turned out!

It’s now a true reflection of my style and the perfect introduction to the color you’ll see when you walk through the door.

    Love it! The only clue that’s your porch was the turquoise bench. Now it’s all you.

    Beautiful. I am trying to find a color to go with my UGLY orangeish/rust brinks.
    Any suggestions?

      Are you wanting a bright color? If not, a deep, dark color might look great and provide a strong balance for your bricks. Knight’s Armor and Black Magic from PPG are both really great dark colors!
