A few weeks ago, I mentioned about painting the porch posts and then changing the colour of our front door and the garage doors. So I've finally taken a picture of the finished product. The posts are white, but the doors were the same brown as the front door. For someone like me that loves colour, it was BORING. And, since I can't have time to just sit and be still on my holidays, I decided to do it right. Sand, wipe down, tape off, prime, and paint. Since I wasn't hustling and decided to take my time, it took me a few days.
Unfortunately, our brick has a bit of a pink tinge, so options are limited. Pinkish brick with a dark red ochre just doesn't work. So green it is!
Garage doors are a big area on the front of the house, so when you paint them, sometimes it's all you notice. The piddly little front door can't really compete.
So I figured I would paint the front door two shades darker. Just enough to make it a little different.
So my doors are green and I've decided that I am completely in love with Sherwin Williams. They have sales the week or so before a lot of long weekends. (Purdy brushes... I love Purdy brushes!) The best part: the paint is just so rich and luxurious, it makes me look good. Yet another instance where having the right tools makes the job SO much easier!
So once again, I have holidays coming up. My last week of the year before the Christmas break. Tim is itching to paint the powder room. Current colour: brown. (The entire house is brown. I think Fabio found a sale on a skid of brown paint!) And I am currently over the moon with the thought of going very bold in the powder room. Something striking and possibly fairly dark. Perhaps a lovely purple/plum colour...
