Front Window Makeover

After painting the front iron door we realized how bad the window next to it looked. Old white paint and rust everywhere didn't compliment our shiny new door too well. So this weekend we spent sanding and painting (among many other small projects). The final product looks much cleaner and makes the porch look a little more cohesive. Now if only we could paint the whole house in a weekend...

Man, having those old rusty windows makes everything look old. No matter how pretty everything else is, rust will give your house a not so appealing “rustic” aesthetic, especially if it’s mixed with the color white. It just pops out too much, that it’s annoying to look at! Now black, on the other hand, made your windows look a lot better.

It’s very smart to use dark paint this time around. You can keep a neater appearance for your window longer that way. Darker shades are better in concealing rust and stains, even with their substantial presence. And I think it worked well in creating a more defined character for your window. Nice! :]
