Here are pics of some of the work I've been doing on the house. The next one is the paint I put on the front steps, which were that horrible bright blue. I think this gray is too light; it needs a second coat anyway so I might get a darker gray for that. At least it's an improvement. Eventually I would like to put flagstone on the sidewalk and steps, but that will cost a lot more money than I have now.
The doorknob is on the new back door - I admit I wasn't sure about the oval doorknob, but I love it. Much easier to open than the traditional round ones, especially when your hands are wet. I love the silver color with the dark blue.
The bottom one is the newly painted light fixture by the front door - there were brass, which I hate, and now they're dark hammered bronze. I really like the color, but I think it might be too dark against the dark blue. What do you think? Maybe I should go with color more like a brushed nickel or something like that. I also painted the front step railings that color, and am painting the light posts at the end of my driveway. Eventually I would like to have all matching light fixtures on the exterior, but that will be a while.
