This weekend we painted the front door and even though it is the brightest juciest jungle red/coral orange.. it was still missing something.
Like a giant brass Lion head door knocker.
And there happened to be one in the partially demolished guest bath masquerading as a towel ring.




Total time to sand, clean, repaint and rehang the door: 2 hours.
Total cost: under $20.00

We used Montana Gold in Blood Orange. Montana Gold cures in 2 minutes. It's amazing stuff.


Also took some of the succulents that were getting sunburned and brought them down to the lower level of the planter and replaced them with golden barrel cactus as well as adding a few more aloes.

Love the door!! Asian Regency!

Better put a small brass or metal plate under that knocker though or you'll have a nasty looking spot there that will quickly crackle the paint around it. That knocker is too fine to resist and even if they ring the bell - they're gonna' have to hit the knocker once or twice!

Put a metal plate under that ring today. That knocker is too temptingly sweet and will have to be knocked once or twice - even if they ring the bell. And you don't want a hole with crackles in that hot paint job.
