Is It Just Me

Or does anyone else spend hours and hours "photo-shopping" home improvements to visualize what the outcome might be?

Current disaster:

The doors were crappy when we bought the place. They worked, so we decided to leave them until we replaced the siding or something and rolled their replacement cost and design into that.

Talking to realtors, the idea came up that maybe we replace them with something cheap to help the house show. When you drive down our driveway, this is the first thing you see.

Should be easy right? Throw up some cheap doors. We're moving anyway.

Yeah, no.

First we have to get the color palette from the manufacturer.

Then cut, paste and "paint" the doors ourselves. This isn't Lands End, so we couldn't just click a link to see the product in a different color.




















Then "install" the doors and see how they look.


Unfortunately the almond looks weird - not necessarily because it's almond, but maybe the "painting" didn't work right.

Which probably puts us back to square one - unless I find a Land's End type garage door manufacturing website.
