The Perfect Yellow Front Door!

If you follow me on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/livingsimplybydesign/), one thing you all know I love doing is decorating for the seasons! It brings me so much joy to bring in seasonal colors and restyle our home. Just as important as interior styling is the home curb appeal on the exterior. I love to create seasonal looks on the exterior that are simple and inviting. For the summer season this year, I chose to paint my front door a beautiful inviting yellow and brighten the area up with summer door mats and a few planter pots.

Choosing a yellow for the door was a little bit of a challenge. I of course searched Pinterest. I LOVE using Pinterest as a tool for inspiring looks and helping me narrow down color choices. Who better to learn from than our peers, right? I wanted a yellow that was in between a pastel and a super bright yellow. A medium yellow, if you will. Not too orange. Not too dull. Sounds picky but I feel like with yellow you have to be really careful with the shade. After some back and forth and seeing the color cards in person, I chose Benjamin Moore Sundance. It’s a beautiful yellow and I was so happy the entire time I was painting it on. It took about 4 coats to get it fully covered, but I’m so happy with how it turned out!
