Help choosing front door colour

[Zebra]

Bolder, malcolm? What, like orange? pink? (no, don't even mention pink - the entire enterior was pink when I got the place)
That's true Penners, but it turns out that as my porches aren't 800mm out from the door and extend 300mm to either side of the door, looks like I've screwed up the warranty anyway. Ho hum, I'm sure it'll be fine.

I liked the last colour but felt it looked a bit faded. I think it fits much better with the house than the grey colours you had earlier. I'd just bung something on and get the door in. You can always paint it a different colour later once the porch is finished.

 

[Zebra]

Thank you all. This has been very helpful. I have chosen a shade called Terre d'Egypte and shall order it on Monday. It's darker than the first red, but a little more orangey and less purply than the second red. Yes it looks faded but I like that, and it's a very good match for the tiles.
I never would have thought of going that way unless I'd asked you all, so thanks very much.

 

[malcolm]

I think dark green would look nice too.

 

[Feltwell]

Late to the party, but I'd vote for the last one, the darker red.

 

[Zebra]

La la la, hooves over ears, not listening any more.....
But thanks Feltwell, for the red idea. Your y chromosome didn't let you down after all....

 

[Penners]

Sorry, Feltwell, but you missed all the good bits. Zebra got a bit tipsy and cried, Moo used a Ouija board to discover that the house is haunted by the ghost of Hiawatha, and I did a striptease.

Do try to turn up on time next time.

You're not really offering the best incentive for punctuality there Penners!

Late to comment but glad you went with a red colour

 

[Zebra]

Thanks ReidS80, so am I. Pictures to follow in, oh, a couple of months?

 

[Penners]

A couple of months?!

I thought I was good at prevarication, but I humbly defer to your superiority! :wink:

TaDAAAAAAAAA

Love it, love it, love it. Definately the right colour

 

[Penners]

Excellent, Zebra! Well chosen (with a little help from your friends!).

 

[LadyArowana]

The door is lovely and the color is just right, but I have to say I have my doubts about the cat flap.

 

[Zebra]

:lol: :lol: It's a lizard flap. They're very flat, you see.

 

[Penners]

I thought you had a very short postman.

 

[Feltwell]

Looks good Zebra!

the color is just right

Quick, the "u" has escaped again, damn Americans keep letting it out!

Yes, I am quite worried about the i.Pad, it keeps doing that and it must be chock full of U's now. I was wondering if I should take it to one of their service centers and ask them to empty it?

 

[Penners]

That depends on whether the service CENTRE can spell.

You do know that you can switch your iPad from American to English?
Settings -> General -> International -> Language -> British English

You can also add keyboards if you have the need to type in Greek, or Russian, or Hebrew, or whatever, and toggle between them. Darn clever!
