Open the Door to More Color!
A surprising color in small and unexpected places can make a big splash, and alter the visual weight of a space. What about that "extra" door...maybe the one leading into the garage? Paint it a shiny eggplant purple in a southwestern home, dove grey in a colonial or sage green in a bungalow. Don't like it? Change it. Very few decorating relationships are as easy to get out of.
If you’re putting different colors on each side of the door, consider what edge you’ll see when the door is open. The edge on the hinge side should be the same color as the face of the door, swinging away. The latch side should be the same as the face, swinging toward.
Naturally, you want to mask the edges carefully. As for the hinges and latch plate, cover those with rubber cement. Just peel it off after the paint dries.
Resource & Reference: One of the first things a Home Stager will tell you is to get rid of about half the stuff in the house. So where do you keep it? A great innovation is portable storage. Load it at your house, store it at their facility, then have delivered to your new home. PODS <www.PODS.com> is famous. Compare with My Storage <www.mystorageoftexas.com> and Mobile MIni <www.mobileminiinc.com>
