Jason's New Front Door Color

(Sorry for the blurry cell phone picture that I took from the car - it's the only one I could find with the door painted red still).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6kmcfZAs3y9nnLU-pUthRv2EyMWKKlW4A0P4mA0To7DB87w_pqYi7qq4k02gZcTqe6bY2sXb64PALZrs8ZN98qe811gGN_9pSc3OMkVFzDDHUGIxmn80YxHor2wwIVB3ABVYpCMC2WD3a/s1600/aIMG_9111.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6kmcfZAs3y9nnLU-pUthRv2EyMWKKlW4A0P4mA0To7DB87w_pqYi7qq4k02gZcTqe6bY2sXb64PALZrs8ZN98qe811gGN_9pSc3OMkVFzDDHUGIxmn80YxHor2wwIVB3ABVYpCMC2WD3a/s640/aIMG_9111.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />First I removed all of the hardware from the door. I started taking it off and then my dad drove by and helped by finishing while I started painting the door. Although we did have primer from the kitchen cabinets I decided to skip that step and just paint the door. I gave it two coats and was pleased with the coverage. I may add a third one when I am up there this summer but seeing how we have a TON of other projects that are much higher up on my list, if it doesn't really need it then I won't bother. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLf1nFBDLo0ccVw5K3XtMxJVu-utqrcKCQmwkaOwlgikkeuupdoqRYrmsjHQK-qO9EbUKuNlwpuXpIyp498WFoEzHLLa4PA5VA1LtCLPqVHff80I8QGYV9l6Ci2jYQD0LQoOsNuxGHyFMn/s1600/aIMG_2109.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLf1nFBDLo0ccVw5K3XtMxJVu-utqrcKCQmwkaOwlgikkeuupdoqRYrmsjHQK-qO9EbUKuNlwpuXpIyp498WFoEzHLLa4PA5VA1LtCLPqVHff80I8QGYV9l6Ci2jYQD0LQoOsNuxGHyFMn/s640/aIMG_2109.jpg" width="436" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As you can see from the photo above the previous owners did not remove the hardware when they painted it red so there was red paint all over the lock and handle. Even though we would have preferred replacing the hardware with oil rubbed bronze, we decided to save money and keep the original hardware. If this were the only project we were doing we would have gone ahead and replaced the hardware but with the entire house needing a lot of work we are trying to reuse whatever we are able to. Last spring I painted the hardware on my <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/90s-hutch-makeover.html">parents hutch</a> to give them the oil-rubbed bronze look and I may do that at some point with this. In order to clean up the existing hardware, my brother-in-law, Josh, brought over some of the stuff below for us to spray on the hardware. (Sorry, again these are iPhone pics taken late at night. I do most of these types of projects when the girls are in bed.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvXjPETgiz3icE4EoQM1WCpK9_ZtUAyBsivM2tOTEPvNUb6U-P_zybG0Ceu80wgY-jhQGa3k7_6MYAckAY7ydQ4j7qhEIn389H5tt_2Vqr1c1bcGb2AkMuXTfNi8vxmT4Pk4bDB-cZ06k8/s1600/aIMG_2121.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvXjPETgiz3icE4EoQM1WCpK9_ZtUAyBsivM2tOTEPvNUb6U-P_zybG0Ceu80wgY-jhQGa3k7_6MYAckAY7ydQ4j7qhEIn389H5tt_2Vqr1c1bcGb2AkMuXTfNi8vxmT4Pk4bDB-cZ06k8/s640/aIMG_2121.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I forgot to take a before shot of the handle but here it was after it had been sprayed and had been sitting there for a couple of hours.
