We have a red brick home and considered painting our door red, but it's REALLY tricky to find the right shade that will work with a brick. Black, like a dress, allows for "accessories" of any kind - like your front planters with pinks, blues etc...It's just a really nice backdrop. Some would think it's safe, but I think it's dramatic.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878991619220099384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693400887620788716.post-44118201692734418542009-10-14T20:50:03.849-05:002009-10-14T20:50:03.849-05:00You could go young house love style and paint the ...You could go young house love style and paint the door red and paint the shutters black.
