If you are a lucky person like my friend Laura, you may get this door on your base house. Just think how you would feel everyday knowing that you have a six panel metal door! Oh the luck she had. I being her neighbor and right next door should have had a lovely all metal six panel door, but I did not. Since, I didn't have this little luxury, I had to have a Front Door re-do extravaganza! Hubby was actually home from this re-do!
I painted my all metal boring door, bold brown...I think this is called Chocolate Sparkle! Sounds fancy doncha think! HA, No I didn't sand down the door before I painted it. And double Ha, you think I would take time to prime this! Nope, I just painted it!
I have always wanted a door knocker. They look so regal! Like a real grown-up would have on their fancy pants house. I figured, I needed one too. For only a few bucks, I got this gold beauty from Home Depot!
How did I install it? Well, it's not like I would drill holes into my metal door. I just "mistreated" it. The only thing holding this door knocker to the door is threw the peep hole. Your base door peep hole will unscrew and then you can attach this one.
See how it's not actually flush with the door! I tell ya no one can tell, well I guess till now. I have only seen one other gal on base do this same trick, I love her dearly and I don't even know her name! There are other was to mistreat your door as well, I have personally help paint two doors red. They look so good! Another gal, painted hers green, and then yellow. See the great thing is you don't have to keep one style very long, If you don't like it, or want a change just paint it again! It's so simple.
