Hey Now, a door makeover
Did you know Lowe's dates their paint labels? Proof I've procrastinated this project since July 10th. I'm ashamed to show the "before" photo. At one time it was white and had those builder brassish fittings. Poor door. Yesterday, I scrubbed the door down and used one of those magic erasers for the scuffs. It worked well, magic.
