Front Door Paint with Modern Masters

A very special thank you to Modern Masters for partnering with us on this post.

As I’ve shared many times in the past, the porches have become some of my favorite places to be on the property. The front porch is especially nice because it’s big enough for lounging yet small enough to feel cozy when we’re welcoming guests or entertaining. Both porches are outdoor extensions of our indoor living spaces and we enjoy them each day.

It all started last year when I was decorating the front porch for fall. It was a very slight change but I noticed the front door was starting to fade. I thought it was just the way the sun was shining on the door so I brushed it off at first.

But every time I walked through the door I started to notice more and more things, like scratches from the dogs,

and paint scrape marks from carrying in a white dresser.

This past year the weather has been extremely rough on the porches. The salt air, marsh winds and coastal rains have caused the front door to become faded and worn. I took this shot just two weeks ago.

While I was at Haven I had to chance to meet the great people from Modern Masters. They have all sorts of awesome products. But there was one product in particular I was in desperate need of, paint from the Front Door Paint Collection. I read through the highlights: Never-Fades Guaranteed! Our Water Base, Quick Dry Formula allows you to finish painting and close your door the same day! Ok, this sounds almost too good to be true, I thought. I must have looked a little skeptical even after seeing the variety of available colors and holding the samples. They were all gorgeous but I needed a paint that delivered through blistering heat, ridiculous humidity and hurricanes. “I live in California,” one of the representatives said. “I live in Florida,” said another. It was like sweet music to my ears.

A few weeks after Haven, I was standing on my front porch trying to decide between a beautiful shade of red called Sophisticate and classic black called Elegant. Thankfully, Modern Masters offers a front door app that helped to make the decision so much easier. The app is really simple to use. After trying out both colors on the app we chose the classic black in Elegant because it most reflected our style on the inside and outside of the house.

The Front Door Paint arrived in a small box so if you’re traveling from one home site to the next, it’s easy to transport. The back label of the paint also gives clear instructions of how to prep the front door for painting. I was shocked at the amount of dirt and grime that had built up on the door.

The consistency of the paint is really nice. It almost feels like a gel because the paint holds onto the bristles of the paintbrush without dripping. In fact, we didn’t have one drip the entire time we were painting the front door.

The container of paint is also manageable enough to hold while painting. This is a great feature if you’re in small or tight spaces without a lot of room for a ladder or work surface area.

The Front Door paint easily transitioned from larger spaces to small ones, like the crevices in the panels of the door.

This is half way through the top portion and even though the paint is still wet on the right hand side you can already see a big difference.

We used two full coverage coats of the Front Door Paint allowing for proper drying time between each coat and I have to say, our door looks like a brand new door. Just a reminder, this is how our front door looked a few weeks ago

and after using Modern Masters Front Door Paint in Elegant.

I know, right, so exciting! Front Door Paint is available at HomeDepot.com, selected Lowe’s stores nationwide and the Modern Masters online shop. Modern Masters also provides helpful minute videos like How to Paint Your Front Door and Front Door Makeover and tutorials like Front Door Paint Step-by-Step How-to Tutorial too.

Thank you again to Modern Masters for partnering with me on this post and helping to breathe new life into my front door. I couldn’t be happier with this paint. All experiences and opinions for this project are my own.

See you guys back here tomorrow. I’ll be sharing our Fall Porch Tour. Here’s a sneak peek.

Many blessings,
