[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 732743, member: 4040"] I like purple. The plan is to paint the house a sage green, white woodwork, and purple accents on the wooden frames of the screens. We need a new roof first, though. After I stripped the door, which was a story in itself (the house was built in 1924), I left all the layers under the door plate, in case someone after me wants to restore it and see what colors they were using back in the day. It's a beautiful blue purple, accented with copper paint in the panels, because the hardware is copper. Cleaned that up, too. Beautiful raised filigree work on the handle and plate. I wish I still had the old key. On a related topic, I was planning on painting the bathroom door, took the plate off, and saw it was that beautiful mahogany under about 50 layers of paint! Now that the weather is good, I'm going to have Hubby take off the door and put it out back so I can strip the paint and seal it. [/QUOTE]
