I wanted to share with you a little house update that has my heart goin' pitter patter. It's no secret to many of you who have been reading this blog that I loooooove me some aqua. It is my go to accent color always, and I use for pretty much every holiday. After bugging my husband for quite some time, he finally broke down and got to work (my nagging can feel like Chinese water torture, I'm told - lol). I could have attempted this project myself, but I tend to defer to the hubby when it is a major feature in our home. I get a tad......sloppy-ish when I paint, so it is best if the things that require precision and care get thrown his way.
Here is the before shot of our front door:
(sorry for the half-in-the-sun pics).
It's not a bad color by any means, but cranberry just isn't really "me."
Ready for the after shot!!??
Life is {Aqua} and sweet!!!

ReplyDeleteThat's great!! The lighter aqua and the darker aqua in the planter are perfect together, and then the green siding really adds charm!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Love the aqua!
ReplyDeleteYou already know I love it, but I'll say it again. I love it! And sorry it's so stinkin hot there. When we got back to Kentucky it was a shock how much cooler it is here. It was crazy hot in Cali! Hope you guys cool off soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's the awesomeist!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your aqua door! What a fun change. Your hubby did a beautiful job painting. Very pretty Ali! It's pretty hot up here in SF too and we're supposed to be in the triple digits over the weekend. I'm ready for some Fall weather.
ReplyDeleteI get sloppy-ish too when I paint :) I AM IN LOVE with this color!! Is your door wood or metal? What kind of paint did you use? How long did it take before you could put the door back on? Did you roll or brush it? Ummm can you tell I want to do my own door?? ha!
ReplyDeleteIt is! It is! I love it!!! I wanted to paint the entire downstairs and aqua color, but Morgan just wasn't feelin' it... I'm already ready to infuse some aqua in my life... maybe the bathroom..
ReplyDeleteand this time? I won't ask him! hehehe
Look how fab your front door looks now! I have that same cranberry looking front door and I would love to change it.
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Goodness. That's the prettiest front door! I liked the before, but the after is a Happily-Ever-After :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your sweet comment on my guest post on Cassie's blog. Just posted a whole list of suggested paint colors, including more whites, if you are interested. Love the aqua door! Very fun.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! It definitely looks like you now!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, what a gorgeous shade of aqua!! I can see exactly why it makes you so happy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright and happy welcome - love it! I bet it makes you smile everytime you open the door!
