To paint or not to paint--isn't that always the question?
Have you thought about painting your garage doors? 

I thought ours would stay white until I saw black doors on Houzz (see above).
They're so glossy, almost like lacquer.

I'm taking a big, brave plunge and painting all of the doors Urbane Bronze (below). It's a dark, dark gray.

 

And if the color is semi-awful, I'll live with it until spring, then I'll buy white paint. If the doors are pure-dee awfulness, I'll buy paint soon, like, tomorrow. 

 

It's funny.

I can mess up a recipe; I can make a horrible personal decision; but mistakes with paint are quickly and utterly reversible. Also, painting a garage door isn't as daunting as, say, painting a ceiling.

 

 So, what do you think?
Should I go for it?

I'm not calm and philosophical about exterior lighting.

So I'm asking for your help. Will you help me choose outdoor fixtures? I've numbered the items--please vote for the fixture that you like best this house.

I just don't know!!

Trivia: No. 1 doesn't offer post lighting. No 2 isn't returnable.
