Speaking of painting doors...
(crankypants was speaking of painting doors but it's neighborhood only because she's so stuck up :-P)
I've got to repaint my front porch this spring and I was thinking
of painting the front door red. I think it would look pretty and it would
match the flowers in the front of the house.
DeWitte told me that having a red door meant you sold
drugs. I've never heard of such a thing, but I don't get out much. I
don't want to paint it red and have junkies knocking at the door all day looking
for heroin.. besides I only sell crack, and only a little bit at that, I
wouldn't know what to do if there was a rush....(I don't sell crack, whoever
took that seriously! I only sell prescription medication and that's
different.)
So, before I run on off to Sherwin Williams, Lowes, Home Depot, whoever has the cheapest paint and buy myself a gallon of Solitaire
Scarlet semi-gloss to match my Solitaire Scarlet geraniums...what do you know about
this red door/drug dealer thing?
If it's true, I'll need to stock up!

Don't listen to DeWitte (sorry DeWitte). Red doors look great on houses especially if the house's siding is white or yellow. Add black shutters to either color house and you'll have the best looking house on your street!
Having a red door in terms of feng shui is supposed to cultivate luck or something like that. Asian Art History was my minor in college and I never heard of feng shui back then, so that last statement might be a load of crap.
It's also a fun bar in the Fremont district of Seattle.
Law and Order - THAT'S where I saw it. Yeah, I think it was on SVU - definitely - well, at least I THINK that's what I saw.
Don't you remember that old ditty, "Come back to the Red Door and buy crack from the old ..."
I'm just looking out for us - that's all...
It's funny you should mention this, I just finished a thesis on this very subject. Colors on doors mean all types of things.
A blue door usually means you like to wear miniature wigs on your privates and demand from your visitor’s that they address it as Lord or Lady, depending on which gizmo sits between your running sticks.
A purple doors means you buy and sell kidneys on the black market and by black market I mean “Kaiser Permanente”.
A green door let’s visitors know that there’s a giant who lives in the kitchen who has a flare for the dramatic. Don’t be surprised if you catch a few feather boas in the face as you flee down his bean stalk!
A brown door means you couldn’t hold it long enough to get to the bathroom.
And last but not least is the Red door, long confused to mean “Hey, we sell lots of fine drugs on the premise” actually means “Hey, I like to direct snuff/porn films between carebears and my little pony dolls”.
I think we can all see where the mix up may have started!
I've noticed that a lot of Lutheran churches have red doors. No idea if Lutherans are selling drugs inside.
