Wednesday, July 7, 2010 A growing to do list
We hope you had an amazing holiday weekend packed with fun and friends! We had our first official gathering on 4th O' July. Friends and family came from afar to celebrate, eat, and play. Much of our time over the past few weeks was dedicated to preparation of said event. Now that most of our guests have departed, reality is setting in. We are knee deep in furnishing a chair, building a bed, redoing the front yard, slight clean up on the floors Joey just laid down in the kitch, figuring out the drive way, and so much more. Before we exhaust you with new project how to's - lets take a moment together and relax. Here is a simple project we completed and no longer have to make decisions about.
We simply painted the door with primer, and outdoor friendly black spray paint. We got the planters at Home Depot, and redid the mailbox with the same paint ad the screen door and we just revamped our old one. When we moved the screen was glass, but we found the screen in the basement and replaced it. The black doormat is a Target score.
We went with black for a few reason. Number one; is we wanted to bring attention to the original windows downstairs. They are so unique! They are black lead laced in a diamond pattern. We will also be painting the house soon (meep!) a creamy white and bringing the wood design to a natrual wood state. Black just seemed to be the right accent. We want to let mother nature be take all the credit for color.
