DOOR : Before and After


Recent renovation conversation at our house at the seacoast .

ME : I am thinking about painting the front door a new color... what do ya think ???

DH:" umm"... as he stared at me with a "I've just been captured by the Iraquis " look.

ROSEMARY : "I think you should paint it a purply-blue color "

TEENS: " Oh gaaaaaaaaawd... do NOT paint it PURPLE ... that is sooooo bad MOM "

So... guess what I did ?



Yup.... it is purply blue... and I just love it. Thank you Rosemary !

What do you think ? Doesnt it say come on into this fun house ????

As for the family.... DH is thrilled that his consulting services are no longer needed... and the teens... well its growing on them.

The door too is different, as are the outside lights? Well, I would have never beleived it would look as good as it does! What a blod step to make, and that says alot about the person... interesting personality, one without fear!
Fantastic, to be who you are and dare yourself to create when those around you disagree! That is powerful symbolism that blue purple door!

I think a chunky checkered mat would add a fine touch too!

Wonderful You!!
