Deployment Projects #41 & 42....Christmas decor and a RED door!

The girls and I brought down our Christmas decorations from the attic last week.....

We got our tree put up and decorated.

Of course, my AUBURN TIGERS ornament sits at the top of the tree....

You know, since we ARE ranked NUMBER ONE right now...

Just sayin'

:-)

I'm almost embarrassed to show you my Christmas decorations. I do like to decorate for Christmas, but because I have VERY little storage space in my attic I have to limit what decorations I put out.

But, here is some of my Christmas decor....

....and remember last week when I showed you my front door????

It wasn't ugly...I was just itching to have a red door.

And what better time to paint your door red, than at Christmas time?!?

First I primed it with GRAY primer...this is important when painting over black. Just buy a small can of primer at Lowe's and have them tint it.

I had brass hardware, but took it out of the door because I wanted a satin nickel finish...

Instead of spending the money on a new set of hardware, I use this spray paint made for metals....

But as you can see, not all things go according to plan...

I just peeled this off and started over again...it didn't turn out perfect, but it works for me....

If you paint your hardware, just make sure you give it plenty of time to dry. I think that was my mistake...

So, here is my RED FRONT DOOR, with it's Christmas decor....

Take another look at the BEFORE door....

And the AFTER......

I am LOVING my red front door!!!

What do you think??
