Here is my Lowe's Sponsored Challenge: Mum's The Word! Decorate any part of your home or garden with chrysanthemum's. Get as creative as you like.
As soon as I opened this one, I knew what I wanted to do...
My front door
But wait....I can't just decorate this place without fixing that thing that has been bothering me for years!
See it?
It is screaming at me..."I'm so ugly!"
No, not the dead Lamb's Ear.
This
I have hated this aluminum threshold from day one.
I even tried to make it black with Rub N Buff.
Big fail
Since I wasn't sure how to fix it after my Rub N Buff disaster, I asked the guy's in the Lowe's paint department.
First, you need to remove as much of the metal wax as possible
Next
I used this tape
To protect the door and bluestone
Prime
2 coats of paint
And you have this
But I'm STILL not done. As long as we have gone through all of this trouble, let's seal the door properly.....Winter is coming!
Look at where the door meets the bluestone
I like this one
While you are at it...check all around the door for additional air leaks.
Apply the caulk and wipe off excess
Now, I'm ready to decorate the front area. Come back tomorrow to see how I finished this area. That is when you can enter the giveaway. In the mean time, click on over to the Lowe's Creative Ideas site for more inspirational projects.
