This color works really well with the flooring and the use of the absolutely white trim makes it more modern. I would walk in with a smile! I am wondering though, why you chose not to paint the inside of the front door.

Love the third shot capturing part of the color in the bathroom, as well. Beautiful!

What a great way to liven up this 60's looking space. I can just imagine how it must have looked before. I love it! It feels so happy and welcoming.

Great balance of colors. I love white painted brick wall. Good job!

I especially like the mix of antiques and modern accents. The yellow of the door and bathroom woodwork sets off the orange/red of the painted walls.

I love the yellow door color. This combo is lovely. I like seeing what colors people do in different regions.

Sophisticated and edgy use of color...what a smashing result! Who wouldn't love to be greeted at this door? Well done!

That's a beautiful shade of orange...not what you would usually think of as orange. I'm finding myself drawn to that color and wouldn't hesitate to use it. I like the yellow...very nice warm colors! I think color really makes furniture and everything stand out...more so than beige or off-white. It's surprising.

Way cool! But I agree that you should paint the inside of the front door... maybe another fun color. Nice work!

Love the bold color and the way you updated traditional pieces...like the crisp white on the ornate mirror.

Very gutsy color, and it works. I would love to see more of this house. I also love your mix of antiques in what looks to be a 60s split level.

I don't like that red with any of those woods. I would never do this to my home.
