I just replaced my old black storm door with a new white one. I loved how the black framed the red entry door - the trim was painted white. We decided to go with a white storm door this time, to match the trim but also hopefully to reflect the heat. My entry door faces west & is an open concrete stoop. The reflected heat in the summer reaches 120' easily & higher in a typical summer. If I only had color to consider I'd keep my red entry door framed with a black storm door but I think I'll still be happy with the white.<br /><br />maybe more than you wanted to know!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305409125105992525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-24991007712526850622014-03-18T21:35:43.822-04:002014-03-18T21:35:43.822-04:00Kelly Green!

I'd been wanting to paint them black for a few years. The painter did not want to do it. After convincing my husband, then the painter, we went with black. My house is the color of the inside of a Three Musketeers candy bar. All the rest of the trim is white. The doors go well with the black of our lights, etc. Everyone loooves it.Maria E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02763460203485569026noreply@blogger.com
