Door
i've got big expectations for today....front porch makeover b/c boy does she need some help! i have had the rattan swing hanging up but it came down, when taylor was in it, and so i'm ready to retire her for a while. my sweet neighbor gave me a chippendale bench and i'm about to take some clorox to it and some fun paint. then i really want to repaint my front door- i'm thinking green, blue, or gray. and i need to add ferns, plant plants in pots and bed, paint my ceiling blue, and update the light. okay, so this might not all happen TODAY but hopefully i can start it....well, right after i finish babysitting....i've got a friend's little boys over in addition to mine. i sent her this picture and said having 4 kids was a piece of cake (totally kidding, i would not be good w/ 4 kids but it's fun having them play). in other news, i had a little girl time yesterday and got a mani/ pedi....loving the mint green nails...and i went bold neon pink for the toes!! you should totally treat yourself :) hope y'all have an amazing weekend. wish me luck....the warning on the clorox bottle tells me to wear eye goggles, long pants, long sleeve shirt, hat, boots, and rubber gloves- what exactly am i using here??!!

Sounds like a plan! I love brightly colored doors.
ReplyDeleteThose lacquer green doors are amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove the green polish! I think you should do your door the exact color of green on the door in your post-beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI'm crazy about front doors. They really tell the visitor what to expect. They either, never want to leave or send the message, please wait here while I bring you your item's, dinner etc. Also, love the toes, the children surrounding you and working my way to liking the nails... xoxo

BTW, I reheat my coffee 3 times every morning. I'm thinking maybe it's not normal?
