I hear you knockin’…

Nov 4, 2017

First order of business — happy birthday to my favorite brother!

Because he’s celebrating in Hawaii, I had a paint party to celebrate here in Indiana!

I don’t know if it’s because Ben has a new house to decorate and paint — or if I’m feeling sentimental because I’m selling the ole’ home place — but whatever it is, it’s me inspired to move forward with a few projects here.

Here’s the door of the 1980s house when I bought it…

1980's door

Like everything else, it was probably the original from when the house was built. While I put in a new door earlier on, I left it white for a couple years. I thought about color for a long time because I LOVE dramatic door colors. But… I live in a stuffy (sorry neighbors) area that is pretty conservative.

I had a gallon of paint matched to paint the exterior of the house in the Ville to touch up a few spots to sell. We instead decided to just give her a new coat of paint, and the color we matched wasn’t exact — but this one gallon was! So guess what I’m doing with it!

2017's door

I don’t know who’s having a birthday tomorrow, but I’m going to celebrate by painting the garage door… and hopefully the shutters too if it doesn’t rain me out.

Happy birthday, Scott — hope your special day was amazing!
