I'm surprised you didn't feature the green door of the Andrews house you love so much!!! That's one of the best parts of the house. Want me to send you a picture?

Beautiful images - I'm partial to yellow doors myself! Particularly fitting in London, Dublin, Boston, or anywhere with an overabundance of row houses and gloom.

the lime green doors were amazing!

If I had your gorgeous streets to walk, I would spend my whole day walking. The green doors are so beautiful!

I've never actually seen a green door before.

If I hadn't painted my house a dark grey-green (with a brick-red door) I would definitely have painted my door green - love it!! And the images you've shared are fantastic. My favourite door would have to be the french "grand" door - interesting how it had bent and weathered over the years (and years and years!). Tres magnifigue!

Though I love your examples of green doors, I'm a blue door person myself, especially against crisp white; think Greek isles and Ireland, for example. Blue doors are remnants of an ancient belief that it warded off evil and are common throughout Europe. Often a turquoise blue was used and in strong light this can fade to a green -- perhaps a genesis for green doors??? I wonder out of curiosity if there are any old or archaic associations with green doors in tradition or myth? What was the origin of the southern green/black door that used to be so prevalent? Just a fashion that was widely copied? Interesting to speculate . . .

Thank you for the comments, everyone! One of the comments reminded me of a friend who was renovating a home in Atlanta, and she knocked on the door of a home in Brookhaven to find out what shade of green they had used so she could replicate it on her own house. Since then, the original house has painted their door and shutters taupe, and my friend has sold her house and moved. But, the shutters on the house she remodeled are still green!

Great post! Beautiful homes! I have a thing for doors, too. My house has had green doors for over twenty years. Every time we repaint, I think I'll change to white, but I seem to always stay with green.

Green is a tricky color and one that is hard to select from paint samples. I have had people knock on my door and ask for the color name/paint brand. I'd do (have done) the same, rather than guessing and remixing ten times trying to get the color right.

I also used to live in Georgetown and really loved it especially in the spring. I used to take my son and dogs to Dumbarton Oaks, such a beautiful park very near our house.
Love the post.... would not know which one to choose to live in....maybe the Prieure d'Orsan as it reminds me of my childhood in France

2009-11-29T13:15:51.936-05:00

Red and green doors are my two favorites. When we built our home I had every intention of having our front door painted green, but our two next-door-neighbors already had the same idea. I went with black instead.
