a pop of beauty

Color makes me happy.

While burgundy is a fine color for some folks, it's just not for me. Especially the drab shade that used to be on our front door.

Excuse the exhaustion... our dear friend Heather took this picture the moment we returned home from Taiwan. It's the only picture of the front door I could find!

And the khaki that graced all the siding and exterior trim and side and back doors?

Y'all. 

To me, that's as bad as having it all the color of Pepto.


Yep, I'd take bright pink - and I'm not  a girly girl - over neutral, institutional shades of bland.

But now?


Much better.



We ditched the storm door, because we never use it and because the wood frame was literally falling apart.

Now?



Please ignore the evidence that I kill plants and keep weeds alive and well. Moving on...

This was the front of our house.






This is now the front.


Granted, the trim and shutters are a'changing too in due time, but I'm amazed at how much difference the door makes!


And my view as I sit and read or write in our front room?


Love.
