Front door and sidelite makeover

Front Door and Sidelite Makeover 💚🚪

 

We replaced our old front door and water-damaged sidelite and saw an opportunity to add some colour and character to the front door area. We replaced the old door with a new front door by Corinthian Doors. We couldn't decide on whether to paint the door grey or green, so we did both! The interior of the door is painted in Dulux 'Battle Dress' and the exterior side of the front door is painted in Dulux 'Shale Grey'. The new front door didn't have glass panels like the old one and so we opted for a full length sidelight. For privacy, we applied a tinted mirror film on the sidelight so that during the day the inside of the house is not visible. 

 

Details of what we used:

 

Front Door - Corinthian Doors from Bunnings

Sidelite - Facebook Marketplace

Paint - Dulux Aquanamel in 'Battle Dress' (green interior) and 'Shale Grey' (light grey exterior)

Door Hardware - Lane Gun Metal Oxford Touch Plus from Bunnings

Mirror Tint Film - Pillar Mirror Tinted Window Film from Bunnings

Door Seal - Raven Anodised Automatic Weather Door Seal from Bunnings

Door Stop - Adoored Brushed Brass Magnetic Door Stop from Bunnings

Re: Front door and sidelite makeover

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @homeinmelbourne. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for sharing this wonderful project.

 

You've created a stunning entryway there, and I trust you're exceptionally proud of your efforts. I love the colour you've chosen for the door and great thinking about painting each side different. The wainscoting is impressive and adds that extra touch that makes this such a stunning project. That mirror is also gorgeous!

 

I look forward to your next project, and well done on an amazing effort.

Mitchell
