Garage Door Makeover – Before and After

Hey Guys!! I’m so excited to show you the first step in our garage makeover!! There’s still a lot of landscaping improvements that we’re planning out, but in the meantime I think this is a huge improvement!!

When we first bought this house, the garage door was painted a darker color that was found in the brick. However, the trim around the garage door was cream. I didn’t love the way that the two colors were paired together. I wanted the door and the trim to match.

So, I repainted the garage door to match the cream trim and then added two sets of black carriage door hardware. I think this helped make the garage look much more put together and elegant.

Here you can see a side by side of the changes I made!

What do you think? Very simple and inexpensive upgrades make the exterior of my home look SO MUCH better! p.s. if you love garage/exterior makeovers, check out my garage makeover on my current 1886 home.
