Blue Door at Sixty 44.

A three day weekend. Three days of rest and relaxation.
Yeah right. 
 I took advantage of this prime painting opportunity.

I planned ahead. It was time for the red front door to change.

I stuck paint swatches on the door for a few days to get a feel for what I wanted.
The front door is tucked away under the arch.  I found that a darker blue just got lost.

The winner:

Azurean.
Behr Premium Plus paint.

I finished the faux barn door too.

I gave it a final coat of white and painted on the house numbers.
I used my usual transfer method. 
(Found the font, printed it, traced with transfer paper and painted it.)

The font is 'SpeedballNo3.' I found in at dafont.com. A free download.

I wanted something retro yet fresh.  I dig it, totally.

While I was at it, I painted the porch swing.

The shutters too. I was on a roll and got it all done.

The Cabinet Maker made the swing in high school. (circa 1981)

  It was pretty weather beaten and needed some scraping and sanding.

A few coats of Azurean perked it right up.

The shutters had been hunter green.

It was a laugh riot cleaning and painting them in 90 degree weather.

But worth it.

The big hinges are from my dad's garage stash back in September.

It is fun to use them here. Mike approves.

The peonies are from my garden. So pretty.

Three days zoomed by so quickly!
