I had a wild hair.....

And painted the Door Bright Yellow...

Our front door has always been ugly. I walked through the nasty door one too many times, so I painted it. I dream of one of these doors, even a salvaged craftsman door would do.

Since a new front door is not priority, and I loved the yellow door I saw on a walk and the one from the flicker file........

Yellow it is... just the inexpensive can of "canned" yellow. Rust-oleum 1945 Sun Yellow.

At one time the crosses on the door were painted white and the panels were a painted green. It was bad. So over a year ago I had white primer on a roller and rolled over the green, still bad, and that is how it was until this week.

Yes this is only a quick fix, (under $4) until we finalize the exterior colors of the house. So I didn't strip or even scrap off all the PO's painted over mess. Why people paint over fuzz, hair, and other nasty stuff is such a mystery to me.

In other news.......

Our neighbor has a pretty pink azalea that hangs over our alley. Lucky us!

Laundry Doors

Habitat Re-Store Find.

For a whopping $30, we found a pair of 24"doors that match the rest of the doors in the house to place on the opening to the Laundry nook.

Yippie!! I will be so glad to have doors to close off that area.

They have what appears to be their origional hardware. ( Which doesn't match ThirteenEleven's. )

Now, some stripping is in order....I do wish all of our other doors didn't have the extra whole drilled in them for the deadbolt lock. (Yes, each and every interior door in the house had a deadbolt lock.)If it weren't for the extra whole, I would strip and stain the doors. But instead, it is strip and paint.

Or....... Chris--DO NOT read this....... maybe I could find all new old matching doors at Habitat Re-Store, and strip them.

Marilyn, Does the mailbox look familiar?

Ours needs some TLC, like the rest of the exterior of the house.

Camellia and Doors

Another one of ThirteenEleven's lovely Camellias.
Doors I wish for. I love the wedge shaped panels on the one above.

The Tree.........

It is really difficult to think Christmas in 70-80 degree weather....... but here are pics of the tree. I placed it in the sunroom (sleeping porch) with all the windows.

(Someone needs to finish scraping these windows...that would be me.)

Great French Doors to the sunroom

Progress

Gross Stuff.............
Vines were growing behind the cabinet at the Kitchen sink...
