Pretty in Pink
As a Realtor I see plenty of front doors and let me tell you the ones that are grabbing my attention right now are the pink ones. I love older neighborhoods, for many of reasons, but the number one reason is no HOA's. Don't get me wrong I love my neighborhood having a clean unified look but, if I want to paint my house Periwinkle then damn it I want to paint it Periwinkle. But sometimes I drive by a pepto-bismol house and I HAVE to stop to look in bewilderment as I give my buyers a good laugh, and the thought crosses my mind "maybe the HOA saying no to my Periwinkle house wasn't that bad after all". Then I try to puff the shit out of that pepto-bismal house by saying "at least the neighborhood has character," and "you can use it as a land mark on how to get to your house." I get a nod of acceptance and then we get in the car and drive away as fast as we can. But then there are those diamonds in the rough, and I get completely enamored by the colors of their front door. I can't tell you how inviting it is when you pull up to a house with a beautiful front door and pretty flowers, plants, or cactus to give it the perfect little touch.
Gone are the days of painting your front door red once you own your house free and clear, thank you Scottish people! Now are the days of feng shui and how colors have meaning. What the hell does that mean? I have no clue, but, it is leading to amazing curb appeal so please people keep feng shuiing (Is that even a word?) your front doors!!! It looks amazing!
Pink symbolizes romance, dreamy, cheery, generous, creative. Its an amazing pop of color that catches the eye if done right. Check out some more amazing front doors to give you inspiration.
