OK, Instagram, help me out here: should I paint my garage door? ⠀ ⠀ Follow up: if an ORANGE garage door is too much, should I switch my accent color to yellow instead? ⠀ ⠀ I HAVE MOCKUPS IN MY STORIES!⠀ ⠀ Background: After all the work of shoveling my drive and sidewalk 3X in the last day, I ran out for the first moment of sun to appreciate my work, and my sweet little ranch. ⠀ ⠀ While I was looking at the house I thought again of how sad it is that one of the last things the previous owner did to the house was replace the sweet mid-century garage door with this banal generic object. That said, the door (and all my window trim) is metal so I have tended to think of them as not changeable. But staring at the house today I was reminded of a charming example I recently noticed over on @retrohomesdever with the front door and garage both painted a cheerful green. ⠀ ⠀ I've got some time before I could break out the brushes this spring ... but I'm thinking about it. ⠀ ⠀ Have you painted your garage door? How did it turn out? Tell me what you like in the comments or vote in the poll in my story! I am filled with indecision and need input!!!!⠀
