Front Door Ideas

Anyone who has been to our house, knows our cute white cape cod has blue shutters...baby boy nursery blue...I am not a fan...so hopefully at some point this year, we can change them. 

 

We are either going to do gray or black, still narrowing that option down.

 

I LOVE the classic combo of a white house with black shutters BUT the cape next door is white with black shutters AND the cape across the street is white with black shutters! Blerg!  Do you do what you want or do what everyone else doesn't have (aka gray)?????

 

As for the door, the color possibilities are endless! Black? Gray? Red? or a fun color! Colin will probably veto many of the "fun colors" I throw out there BUT I got some paint swatches last weekend in the blue and green range which I will run by him at some point. : )

 

I am thinking a spring or sage green, OR a turquoise or robins egg blue in the muted/gray tone range.

 

Here are some pinterest pictures that I have been peaking at for inspiration.  Right now this project isn't on the top of the list, but once it gets bumped up, I'll show you actual pictures of the house and my paint swatch options. : )

 

One of the reasons I jumped the gun on the paint swatches is since I have been eyeing up this trellis for the eating area patio, which I would paint the same (or a similar color) to the doors.  It might need to be a similar color since I want to grow clematis on it, and it needs to be shade that looks nice against the green of the leaves.  Unless that is too much "girly" color for Colin, in which case the trellis could be painted gray or black. See, the ideas in my head are endless, too bad time and money are not endless! ha!

 

This picture captures the color I am thinking the best; A muted gray tone of a green or blue. (PS I got planters to similar to these for the patio this year! woo hoo!)

I am not sure I am brave enough for the spring green, but boy does this picture look nice:

 I don't want to do a green this bright, but I love this picture, so I had to include it in the post anyway:

This picture I also love.  I have loved it since I first saw it in my Better Homes and Gardens two winters ago.  I even love this purple hue to the shutters, although I think we are going pre-fab shutters not painting them, so we need to stick to the basic gray or black.

 All these planters make me excited for summer annuals!

Here are a few more with the color range I am leaning to:

Spring!

I am hoping to carve out some time this week to blog.  My camera had gone missing, along with some photos on the memory card I wanted to blog about...and today, I am happy to report it is no longer missing! Woo Hoo! I went threw the mail basket and there is was, hiding under mail.  So many reasons, it is good to sort through your mail. : )

 

In the mean time, please enjoy this photo from Pinterst. I just love it! Cleary I have been carving out time for pinteresting! ha!

Spring Woodland

I have been longing for spring, this winter has seemed far too long and snowy.  I always have a pretty picture on my desktop at work, but I was getting tired of my red cardinal on a snowy branch and wanted something to help look forward to spring, perhaps a spring woodland..I did a quick google search and came up empty, and got back to work...

But then I stumbled upon a pinner who loves flowers perhaps even more than myself and she has a board called Spring Woodland!  Woo Hoo!

So I found this gem to greet me each morning as I sit down to my desk.  Enjoy! Soak up that filtered sunshine, the tiny leaves, the greens, the purples...pretend to roll around in those bulbs... I mean, put it on your own desktops for a while. : )
