The third time’s a charm when it comes to my garage doors. Case in point…
Look 1: The original garage door was a beastly, forty year old solid wood door… until I backed into it a couple of years back and knocked it off its track. I’m not gonna lie and say I wasn’t excited about it. Here’s the look when we bought the place.
Look 2: The new faux carriage style doors were definitely better. But really… looking back I’m thinking I was a little over-zealous when I proclaimed them “a significant improvement to the overall curb appeal of our abode”. I mean, it was exciting and all, but there was still plenty to do.
Look 3: And finally, four years later, I am beyond thrilled to share the look we’ve been working towards since taking ownership of the place!! I had the garage door painted to match the wood siding – in Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter. And I am probably most excited about the new lighting. There is a recessed light in the portico and we also added two black barn lights!! They are the All Weather Gooseneck from Barn Light Electric in black with a straight arm:
All Weather Gooseneck Farm Light Wall Mount BLE-G-AUS-PC. Shade size 15″, Finish 100-Black; G16 Straight Arm.
As y’all know, we also had a portico built over the side door, and the old door replaced with a standard 15-light door. I found the house numbers in an antique store on our annual visit with bestie R in New Orleans last year.
Here are all of the new exterior paint colors:
In addition to the paint, lighting and portico, I shared this spruced up corner of the driveway earlier this spring.
And the crown jewel of the garage is actually what’s inside… see all the details here!
There is one small thing left on the list for the entire Curb Appeal Project. I can’t wait to share!!

Flattered for the feature at Barn Light Electric!
I just have to show my husband these pics! Your garage doors look beautiful! We still have our originals and are definitely in need of a makeover. I also love your side door. What a welcoming entry!

I didn't realize that one could fall in love with a garage! love it and the colors!
Can't wait to read what's next on your curb appeal project. I love all the changes y'all have made so far!
Georg!! Such an inspiration as we are about to close on our new home, and I can't wait to get my hands on it! I will definitely be contacting your contractor for a bid because one of the major projects is ripping out the deck and having a large sun porch built, as well as porticos built over the front and side doors!!
I love the new lights and the portico. Stunning. Hugs, Marty
Amazing. We have to paint this year. Love the colors you chose. Would love to replace our old heavy wooden door as well. We shall see.
Your house is darling. Love keeping up with the progress!
Oh my word what a huge difference.
WOW.
I absolutely ADORE your portico and new door and colour – it made the hugest diffference – along with the carriage garage door – hard to even believe that original "before" and "now" is the same place. HURRAH!!!
Now that is best looking garage on the street I am sure! I love the color palette you went with.
Who thought I would swoon over a garage?! But I seriously am…love the overall color scheme…the fun pop of color on the door, those lights and that interior organization are all so lovely!!
Love it! Just pinned the little nook idea so we can fix that up before school!
Love the iron numbers that you found on Magazine Street. Hurry up! Let's geaux back! xo
GREAT job! Definitely welcoming and clean looking!
This is a BEAUTIFUL garage — what a weird thing to say :) The door color and gooseneck lights are my favorite part!
Absolutely stunning. Beautiful exterior to match your interior.
Love your portico and blue door!
LOVE the color of this door! The portico was the PERFECT addition! I am sharing this on my FB page – with a link back to you, of course :) Life to the full! Melissa @ DaisyMaeBelle

This is beautiful! Can you do me a huge favor and tell me what brand garage door (or company) you used? I'm trying to figure out if I can do the rectangular stockton type windows with the same type of opening you have (with the diagonal upper corners). Every pic I see shows the windows being cut off at the corner except for yours. I'd love those same windows but not sure if it depends on the brand. Does this make sense?
