And I think that the mint green color will go well with the overall look of your house. It will surely make your door adorable. Just be sure to choose the right shade. Not too light that it would look bland, and not too dark or neon-like, that it will not come close to your photo-inspiration.Keven Sumrellhttp://www.southwestexteriors.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545399586268572020.post-29504266983025302202012-09-13T14:13:49.986-05:002012-09-13T14:13:49.986-05:00Don’t be afraid to take some risks, Kara.

Just make sure that the color matches the entire look of your house, and that it suits well with the design. But don’t choice shades that are too light because that might make your door look dull and bland.Leif Clancyhttp://allcountyexteriors.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545399586268572020.post-17025339305637258202012-06-26T13:11:02.630-05:002012-06-26T13:11:02.630-05:00Mint-colored doors are cool to the eyes!

You can tell a lot by a family from their front door. :)<br />Here is a link with pics.<br /><br />http://11005mansfieldavenue.bairdwarner.com/<br /><br />-AmandaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545399586268572020.post-73260189567699998172012-05-07T10:17:09.659-05:002012-05-07T10:17:09.659-05:00I say do it... and I'm not even convinced you&...I say do it... and I'm not even convinced you'd have to change the black shutters. That's certainly a change that could come later if you wanted, but your photoshopped version looks good to me (I'd even say you could go a bit more saturated in the color dept.), and the couple below has black shutters, and their door looks great! I think you'll be really happy to have such a fun color greeting you and your visitors every day... go for it, and report back!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899277351488775904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545399586268572020.post-26819958673459129362012-05-05T16:36:55.023-05:002012-05-05T16:36:55.023-05:00I totally agree with Erin.

Not necessarily painting them mint, too, but maybe a softer color instead of black.Erinhttp://thirdrowseat.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545399586268572020.post-1405792250685949012012-05-03T11:16:18.710-05:002012-05-03T11:16:18.710-05:00I like the color itself.

It's easy enough to repaint if it doesn't work out. <br />If the door isn't painted and is original exposed wood I wouldn't recommend it. Stripping the paint to get back to bare wood isn't easy. A lot of the original St. Louis doors are made from Cyprus which has really interesting wood grain and isn't available any more in new doors.<br />Good luck with the new house!Chris Cookhttp://www.difficultfood.comnoreply@blogger.com
