Ever since we moved into our home almost two years ago, I’ve wanted to paint our front door. It was a dark hunter green and looked almost black from the road. Our entryway is north-facing so it doesn’t get much natural light, so when you add the dark door, it just seemed dark and dreary. Enter my new favorite color.
My insiration photo, which I fell absolutely in love with several months ago:
The closest color I could find to match this gorgeous door was Martha Stewart “Splash” at Lowes. I’m smitten. Here’s my new front door:
I loved it so much that I decided to paint a little table with Splash too. I mixed in some white to lighten it up a little.
I secretly am so obsessed with this color that I kinda want to paint everything in my house with it…It really is a great shade of blue!

Ashley~what a fabulous blue! It is almost identical to your inspiration photo and I think the name is the perfect name for it as well. Your door looks so refreshing and serene~and the exact opposite of dark and dreary! Thanks for sharing a great color with us and for joining the party~

Wow, love your front door makeover!
That inspiration photo is beautiful – your color is gorgeous.
Wow… LoVE that color! Great idea to put it on a table. I’d drool over that inspiration picture also.
Oh. my. goodness. I love that color too. Your front door is just perfect. Now I’ve got a new color to try! Thanks for sharing!
I, too, want to paint my front door. I just can’t decide on a color! I’m glad to see your lovely blue door looks so great on your beautiful house!
Don’t you just love that blue color? I have a couple of rooms in a similar color myself. I can see why you loved that inspiration photo. So beautiful! I bet your front door is the best in the neighborhood!
Oh, I love that blue. Your door turned out great!
That’s a beautiful blue! I love the door and table!
It took me forever to decide on a color! For the longest time I just knew I wanted to paint the door red, a classic door color. And then I saw that blue door (I think it was taken somewhere in the UK, love. I’ve seen photos of front doors over there in all kinds of different colors. It’s such a nice change from the usual white, black, natural stained wood look.
That blue is absolutely beautiful. Great job.
Love it! That looks great and makes me want to right home and paint my door too.
That blue looks good anywhere and on anything. I love your front door. Perfect! I really enjoyed visiting your blog today!
I love that color too!!! It looks fantastic on that door and side table! Very good choice!
Love that color! We just remodeled our guest room with a similar blue on the walls and a darker blue on the ceiling. I LOVE it. Your front door looks amazing! And the little table is perfect in blue. So sweet! ~~Rhonda
Your newly painted door looks fabulous! Love the color. Isn’t it amazing what a change of color can do?

I remember seeing that inspiration photo somewhere and it struck a chord with me, too! Love that you took it to your door. Pretty!
Great door. I’m sure it’s a treat for your whole neighborhood.
What a gorgeous color! Now I’m looking around, wondering what I could paint with it here. Your door looks great!
I love doors with color! That blue is fantastic, it reminds me of a robin egg.
Great choice, thank you for sharing with us.
The contrast with the white frame and the yellow siding is really nice! I have been seeing this color combination of the pretty sky blue with crisp white popping up a lot lately — good choice :)
Very pretty :-) I love it when people paint their front door a fun colour :-) Why have a white door when there are so many great colours out there?!
Your table is really nice too :-)

I have been thinking about this beautiful door since I saw your post a few days ago. It is fabulous! Great job.
Have just renovated a house and was searching for a nice blue for our front door – this is perfect!
Love it – hope I can get someone on the island I live on to make the colour!
Wow, yours is fabulous as well! :D :D Guess we have similar taste in colors ;)
