First impressions are big for me. When people come over, I want our home to feel warm and inviting. And clean. As in… not what this doorbell represents -

This is the first thing that guests see. It is old and ugly. Someone forgot to use Frog Tape when painting the door last time around. So… time for a little face lift. In fact, I think the whole door could use a face lift, don’t you think?

Pink? Mauve? Rose? What is that color? What ever it is, it’s going bye bye.

Back to the doorbell – Here is our little guy.

And a nice side by side of what we have going on. So much better!

Next, I drilled two new holes and connected the wires. 

That’s it. 1..2..3… Ding Dong we are done.

Not too shabby for 15 minutes and $14. Of course, once I repaint the door it will be seamless.

Next on the agenda for Project First Impressions… Paint the door. Or at least think about a color :)

What else have you done that is an easy fix and a big bang for your buck? I love these little mini projects.
