Rolling Hills

After finally tackling the Ivy and the front gate next in line was the front door. The front door looks horrible due to the previous owners deciding to white wash it and not executing it very well. It was definitely time to fix this issue. Be gone ugly door!  

I went to Home Depot and Lowes and grabbed paint samples. I specifically was thinking that a dark blue shade would be nice so I was grabbing lots of blue/teal color samples. As I was leaving the paint section of Home Depot one specific color jumped out at me and I couldn't resist grabbing the paint sample. It was called Rolling Hills and is the only green sample that I grabbed.

I talked to Geoff and a few other people about which color they liked and what they thought. But I kept gravitating back to the green. I finally quit messing around and went back to Home Depot to buy a small sample can of the green. I decided to just go with it and paint as much of the door to get a good idea of  how it would look. Both Geoff and I loved how it popped and decided it was just right.

So I went back to Home Depot and bought a quart of exterior paint in Rolling Hills.

I finished it that same day it looks mighty fine! I love how the color just pops! 

Here it is with the door knob and some accessories. Love the door, still working on the accessories.

We love how the door looks and are very very happy with our decision to go with the green. Now we need to paint the trim around the door, I feel like its the same color as the house and its not meant to be. It looks kind of dirty to me so we are thinking of painting it white. Also not too sure about the color of the pots, however, for only $13 each they were perfect for what we envisioned for the space. So there will definitely be tweaking here and there.
