Door makeover

My house has two entrances. The front door, then there is a side door just off the driveway . This is the door everyone uses, naturally. The porch leading to this door is unfinished and covered in green carpet. This was kind of a big thing for a certain age group. But, not for me! Winter quickly approaching, we don't really have the time nor do we have the funds to remove the porch and redo it. Plus, eventually I would like to only use the front door.

We decided next Spring we would start on this project. But, for now, it's a real eye sore. Make a temporary fix or leave it be?

I started with my Fall decor.

I'm all for old screen doors. I love the sound of the spring stretching and then the following slam. But, this one isn't my choice of style . Not to mention the screen won't stay in the door. So, bye bye screen door. 

I then, want to paint the main door black. Couldn't find the black paint. How about a sunny , happy yellow?

Not loving the yellow/green combo. But , we'll just pretend the carpet isn't there. K?

It needed a little something extra.

My whole point is to add a warm welcome upon arriving to my house.

Lets be literal .

I found a pretty font , but, couldn't find paint. So, I snatched up a paint pen that my hubby had.

That didn't work. I give up, I'm going to paint my nails.

Hmmmm....I wonder......

It worked! I painted "Welcome" on my door using fingernail art polish. I know , sounds crazy. But the style of brush worked absolutely perfect.

Better?
