I see a blue door and I wanna paint it...

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted a red door. And yes... every time I think of a red door (or see a red door for that matter) I sing the "Paint it Black" song. The punk rock roots in me sing the Face to Face version instead of the original Rolling Stones version, but you get the idea. Babble, babble... C'mon get to the doors already!

As I was getting my mail one day, I decided my door needed a facelift. The door was in need of coat of paint anyway... why not make it more inviting- and less like a black hole? That night I told D I wanted to paint the door a bright color. He wasn't on board.... yet. I took some pictures, then created some photoshop overlays to see what it would look like. Here is what I came up with...

The original door perfectly matches the shutters...

Gold/Mustard Door

Red Door

Yellow Door

Avocado Door

Bright Blue Door

Navy Door (or similar to current door)

I toyed with the idea of an orangey-red door, but it didn't look quite right... So what do you think? Anyone have any thoughts on what color our door should be? As much as I love the red door idea, it might be a little to patriotic for me with our blue shutters...

Hoping to get the door painted in the next week or so. Check one more thing off my list :) Once I showed D the options, he could see what I was talking about... more of a visual "oh I get it" moment.

Please note: These colors aren't exact, they were just mixed via Photoshop. I will actually need to go get some paint samples at some point.

Lately....

So, I am kicking myself for not writing more posts lately. I keep thinking of great things to write, and have yet to have the time and sit down to write them. It's just one of those times where life is hectic....

Here is a short status update:

New Job: Crazy. Completely out of my comfort zone, doing new things, working crazy hours, commuting to New York.

New House: Crazy. D is about 2 carloads away from being completely moved in. But our living room is a complete disaster because it was more of a "just get it here, then we will deal with it" sort of move. We've both been so busy with work, its hard to find time when you don't want to just crawl into bed to do things. We have 3 rooms painted, and two more to go (plus some trim touchups)... We're basically living in the bedroom since it's the closest room to being done, besides my office where I spend all day sitting in a giant mess :)

Wedding: Tons and Tons of ideas.... no official plans yet. The original thought of having a Fall 2014 wedding has passed us. With everything else going on, it was going to be a long shot anyway. Right now we're aiming for Spring 2015... but no date has been set.

For now, thats what I have. I hope to have some house updates soon.
