So, now that we've painted our house and have removed the tree so that you can actually see our front door, we need your help. Should we paint the door wine (to match the shutters) or shoudl we leave it white? Leave your answer in the comments!
c'mon, people. I think you're all just swayed by the term "wine"... do you feel the same if we call it burgandy? wait, that's wine, too. How about merlot? damn. caberent? geez....
I still say burgandy or maroon (but you and I both know that it's really wine). Our house is tan brick with brown trim, but we have red shutters and a red door and I think it makes our house "pop" in a neighborhood full of brick ranch style homes. Plus the red gardenias in the front flower box helps.
You people are all crazy! White is the right color for the door, and thankfully my vote counts more! Though, admittidly, someone else's counts the most.
Hmmmmm....what happened to "admittedly someone else's (opinion)matters the most"?
We're yet to hear her opinion. Pretty slick on her part, I'd say. Let everyone have their say, then she can do whatever she wanted to do in the first place!
So…..I’m actually completely ambivalent about the color of our door (at least, as far as a decision between red and white go). We have gotten several unsolicited comments that it should be red, so I started asking around, and have found that everyone, overwhelmingly, seems to think it should match the shutters. Thomas seems to be the ONLY person who firmly believes it should be white! Next time I’m in the mood for a project, I’ll probably give the red (actually called Sommelier) a try. Unless Thomas really, really doesn’t want me to. But I’m actually on the fence!
I agree with everyone that the alcoholic paint would match the shutters and 'pop' if surrounded by white trim. That said, a white door set in white millwork creates the illusion from the curb of a much bigger and more inviting door. If you get the door drunk, it will appear smaller (actual size).
MiMi is over and says that should you ever decide to sell the house, paint the door yellow (no mention of the shutters however). Realtors tell her that yellow will be the reason it sells quickly!

Thank you for your opinions.
A red door is auspicious. A white door is not. Paint it wine!
Don't be difficult son....you inherited your taste from me, so listen to your wife!
Wine with continued white trim on the frame sounds like a good compromise. (Assuming Eli actually WANTS a wine colored door.....)
Dad
I'm not being difficult, dad, I'm just right! I'll try having an alcoholic door as long as whomever paints it is willing to paint it back!
ah thomas, when will you learn that it is OUR opinion that matters the most?!!
;)
i vote wine! i also vote for chocolate. and saffron. and any other food-related colour.
