It frames the window

I think you should paint the trim around the door glass the same color as the handle. The darker color matches the window and will blend in instead of competing with the glass.

One tip I learned in the almost 40 Years of having a home is you can tape a plastic tablecloths from the dollar store or a shower curtain or even a blanket tape it over the frame or the outside of the house and that way you can keep the bugs and heat out of the house

You would just tape the plastic over the door way just while the door was drying. Or you can tape a blanket we did that years ago when I built my house and we were painting and the mosquitoes were so bad and we had no screens on the windows. But we needed to paint the room and we didn't want all the bugs coming through while the other part of the house might have had a window open for ventilation. So we take the blanket over it so I could paint in the one room and not be eaten alive

No - if she wants the frame look, the outer trim color (tan/beige) would look better, IMHO.

I miss my dad, he always was there for me. He was a very fine handyman. You are a very lucky young lady.

I think i would have painted the trim blue around the window in the door, the white is kind of stark against the painted trim and door... but overall, looks so much better.

I love that you are doing this stuff yourself. I want my daughters to be this independent but to also know that “Dad” is there in an emergency. Awesome.

Just finished having my house painted and shutters put on. The door is next. You have inspired me to take it a step up. Love what you did to the door and entrance. Yeah Charles!!!

the pink glass bothered you, but not the white trim? 😭 if you’d allow me to be a KZread critic, it would have been neat to see and before, afXter, after. ♥️ I feel like the pink was going to tie nice with the ocean picture, but I’m also a little sentimental 😁 #teampinkglass Also!

What a transformation! I really love how the door pops ♡ That new window insert ties everything together so well! :) The only suggestion I have would be to maybe paint the frame of the insert the same color as the door (like you had done originally) because it's the only thing that's white if you don't count the flowers, it just seems a tad out of place with your color scheme (maybe it's just me) Either way this was a great video!

Some of those vinyl pieces say not to paint over, and some are okay to paint as long as it's not a dark color. Something about the paint absorbing heat from sun and distorting the vinyl. Haven't figured out exactly what is"too dark" as I want to paint the trim on my mom's door. It bugs me every time I see it 😏

I love you show how things can go wrong, (trim color attempts) makes me feel less of a mess when I try something and it don’t workout the way I thought it would. Thank you for being authentic!

You did a great job with this project! Looks so much better! The white trim around the glass insert bothers me a little but it's your door, your decision. How awesome to have such dad willing and capable help you out any time you need him! Send my hug to your dad please!

Your charming Dad is always there for you. You should be grateful for his patients with your artistic eye. Charlie as the daughter of a man who is no longer be able to do such helpful things, I thank you. Mom is so expressive with her reaction to all Kristen does. GOD BLESS the entire family.

Kris I was so happy to see you change the glass in the door that was an excellent decision very beautiful work well done. You never disappoint.

" Thanks Charlie" your daughters amazing designs have changed my entire home glad she has you to help in a pinch!!!

I love watching you and your projects! Thank you for bringing us along through your color matching process, showing us when you get it wrong and then letting us see how you resolve an issue. You rock!

This is awesome! I had two double porches to start my home makeover to repaint the entire inside of the house. I started with the front porch. I planned to paint all the exposed wood except the doors and top and main spindle ballistrade. But instead of whitening the wood, I wanted a light grey and stone white walls. It took forever to do the porch so much wood and a few big window areas. But when I finished that first part I just wasn’t 100% happy with the colour of the grey woodwork. Just seemed a little too dark to the subtle almost light silver/grey that I visualised. So when I saw your video makeover of your front door, I was (sorry to say) delighted that you had a few changes of the colour until it felt right for you as that’s exactly what I am going to do now! Brilliant! Thank you so much.

Loved the door color and glass insert omg also love the light fixture it looks so pretty❤️ but maybe it is just me but I didn't quite like the trim color tbh, for me a lighter white shade or on the opposite side a matte black shade on the trim would have made the door pop more but that's just my opinion ❤️ good job though!!!💐

Wow! I love this color of the door!!!! Finally found the color I'd want to paint our double front door with. I've never painted in my life but your videos inspired me to try painting this month. God bless! :)

Love, love, love how this beautiful diy makeover turned into a family group effort, your mom picking in on the door glass was so adorable... and before I forget thank you Charlie for saving the day!!! 🙂👍 Oh, one minor suggestion... updating the doorbell. It just jumped out at me during the reveal. BTW, thank you on sharing the glass panel change option as I had no idea it could be done, I'll be doing the same at my mom's house.

Thanks for being open about the color swap, so many people act as if they get it right without needing to go back to the store. Great job and beautiful finish!

Wow! You did an awesome job! I did the same thing taping around the door handles. But I used a bronze paint Rust-Oleum Bronze steel to paint the door sets with out removing using a thin paint brush. Then use a clear sealer steel paint coating. I do it in the winter since it dries fast and stays durable.

Kristen I’m obsessed with the color you used on the door as well as the insert (I never knew that was a thing) & fixtures. Well done girlfriend!!

Hi Kristen, I am a new subscriber today. I love your makeover and the new glass insert! I just painted my front door a cranberry color. It pops with a pretty wreath for summer and now Fall. I also put a “welcome” script on the middle flat area. I think the white area around your new insert would even improve more so if you painted it the same door color or even black. I wish my Dad was still alive as he would help me with these jobs. Charlie, you are such a big help. Kudos to you both! 👏👏👏

Absolutely fell in love with the color juniper ash! I painted my front door that color & am painting our back door next! Really enjoy watching your videos a lot of great ideas!

Great job! Amazing transformation. I like the new window it fits well with the frame of the light fixture. And thank you Charlie for helping your daughter fit the framework for the window.

PLZ DO A HOUSE TOUR!!!!🙏🙏🙏

i might be the only one, but i liked the old window much more, it seemed to tie in the wall color of the house to the entry way... also i would have rather put more time in, cleaning the stones. the new window for me looks way cheaper than the old, somehow. but again, since i‘m from europe i might value old things a bit more...

@picilocarnal

I too think the old glass looked more interesting. It just needed a different color scheme on the door to make it more striking. I love the effort you put in this transformation, though.

You should paint the side lites the same color as the door to make the whole entrance look bigger. The trim around the window should also be the same color as the door or black to make the design in the glass pop out. Overall... looks so much nicer. Good job!!!

You’re so handy! So is your dad. Bravo!

When your parents sell their home, they can sell it for wayyyy more with all these updates!! You’re an amazing daughter!! 💕

What an incredible transformation. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽job Charlie!😉 I would color the frame too so it would look cohesive. The white def. stands out.😘

Love all your choices. One thingI ran into when we had our new doors installed was that the nice bright white trim around the actual window, really yellowed with time and sun exposure. If you want it to stay white, you may need to actually paint it white. Or any other color you choose. I never knew you could just replace the glass. Good to know.

I love it, lovely clean lines and very modern ❤️ we have a wooden front door that’s been sealed off as we only use our side door, don’t ask me why but it was like this when I moved in with my fiancé and that was 6 yrs ago. I want to unseal it and paint the door and redo the glass that’s in the center, much like your door. You have inspired me

Loving all your transformations 😍❣️

❤️❤️ I love your transformations!!!

For over 30 years I did home improvement projects with my dad. We did everything from installing a sprinkler system, building a deck and refinishing cabinets. He died recently and I miss him dearly. He was not only a mentor and inspiration, he was my best friend. As a young woman, these experiences were invaluable.

Thank you we all need a dad like Charlie. Love the makeover good choice to change out the glass. Not sure if I would’ve stayed with the white trim around the glass. Maybe black trim around the glass. Thanks for sharing inspires me to do my front door makeover.

First impressions are important and your new entry is spectacular. I love the new insert on the door. It’s a big improvement on the old one. Well done. My door colour is moss green.

The front door make over looks great. Big shout out to Dad Charlie

Your door color choice is beautiful!!! I recently painted my door red. I've always wanted a red front door, first time ever doing anything like that. Had I seen this first though, I might have changed my mind. I loved how you spray painted the handle!! What a beautiful job! And thank God for dads!! ❤️

I have wanted to change my front door glass for some time and after watching your video I now feel empowered to do it myself! Thanks!

Kristen what a drastic improvement from a neglected exterior to massive curb appeal. If I were passing by I would definitely want to buy this home.

I especially like the white frame around the new glass window. It really pulls your focus right in to the window and brightens the whole area, which would be darker and duller looking without it. Wise choices. The small lantern on the ground is hard to see. It could be replaced with something that has a little more character (maybe something with a solar light incorporated into it) to add some sparkle at night. Good job.

What would we all do without our dads, even though is late. however, it's always good to have a man around, thank for taken the time out and now you have given me an idea to use the insert for my shower door. 💯💯💞💞

I use a standout color on my doors, painted them deep red after I had new siding and roof done. A few years later painted them deep purple and planted with purple flowers in the front yard. Last year I had to replace my front steps and sidewalk and repainted in a deep raspberry color. The hardscape resulted in having to reshape the planting on one side of the house so I replanted the whole front using hydrangeas and pink flowers. The color of my house Tuscan Olive, a light color that everything I've done over the years looks great with. So have fun with making a change, it doesn't have to be permanent.

I'd definitely go back and paint the white trim around the glass the color of the door or black to frame the window.

Shout to Charlie and to dads like Charlie and my dad…don’t know what I would do. God Bless dad’s like them. We are lucky girls to have them in our lives.

I also spray painted my light fixtures black & did the same thing as she’s doing with my door handle so I’m one step ahead of her & Im changing color again this yr 👍❤️ love the new door look 👏👍

Beautiful! That window! Love the style of the chairs and table - everything compliments everything else! Great job! Charlie too! 👏. And I like the white trim around the window - with white flowers accenting that touch. I think it adds a degree of “pop”.

First, I am adopting you. Second, you have the most incredible skin. Third, I love everyone of your makeovers. The front door looks amazing. (Go dad!!!)

I love all the changes you made! Such a huge difference! The only thing I would change is the white trim around the new glass insert. It keeps drawing my eye to it and it seems out of place (to me). But kudos to you and your Dad for all your hard work and it looks absolutely beautiful. ❤

Great job Kristen! I love that you left the trim around the new window white. It makes it pop and it looks modern. :)

It looks great! Way to go, to your Dad! Dad's are so awesome w/ home DYI help! Mine sure was...OMG, I miss him in a different way every single day.

I love it! With the white trim in the door insert though, you really need the trim around the door to be white as well. That would make it perfect. I can't imagine how much work changing the trim of the whole house would be though...

Thanks for making these makeover processes easy to understand for a rookie like me. I really like how you display and explain each of the products you use step-by-step. Keep up the great work.

OMG girl! That looks uh-mazing!! I love the entire thing. A few days of (hard)work for years of beauty. So impressed!

Omg. Bravo. You outdid yourself... its gorgeous. Well worth it.. I have the original hardwood door on my family home. Its 73 years old.. gonna do a much need makeover now. To freshen it all up at whole front of house area. Powerwash, paint, trim, patio set, cant wait. TY for the inspiration...

The thought that literally keeps going through my head while watching your video, "Omg is this woman TALENTED!"

It looks lovely but the glass panel you had before was gorgeous and didn’t need changing in my opinion. Well done, and thanks dad for helping xx

We’re getting ready to do our front door - I’m so excited as it is one part of our house that has bothered me since we bought it 3 years ago. We have spent so much time focussing on the interior and kept putting it off. The door needs replacing as whoever trimmed it when it was installed took off too much and we get terrible draughts around the edges (we have tried all the different strips to try and seal it but they are ugly and didn’t work 100%). So new door is purchased plus hardware, paint colour chosen (navy blue) - but we still need to match the original trim color for freshening up the frames etc around the side windows. Hopefully we don’t have to return any 😂

OMG this is a beautiful makeover but Charlie really really save the day! Kudoos to all the dads out there that really makes a difference in their grown out children life!!

You have given me the correct gloss or semi gloss paint i need to use gor my exterior. I never know which one to get. I love the color you chose for your door. More sophisticated and clean look. Great job, Thanks for sharing..

Love the spray paint in a cup idea! Simple yet very effective!

My front door is brown, but it’s about to be a super dark navy, and I’m also adding a gold kick plate, big gold door knocker, and painting the door handle gold. This video got me so excited… maybe I should change my porch light too!

That looks lovely Kristen. I am about to start renovating my front door area and I'm just really stuck for ideas but this has given me some really good direction. :-) Have a lovely day !!
