Sick of red

I haven't posted for a few days because Friday was the last day of school and I've been enjoying spending time with all my little ones.

I had a bunch of other projects that I needed to post, but I developed an itchy spray paint finger and decided to paint my front door!

Here is what my front door looked like Monday morning...

 Brick red, and pretty blah with a few scratches mixed in.

I was tired of the red, especially since when the door is open...it only matches with my decor at Christmastime. Time for a MAKEOVER! I taped it all off then tried to take it off the hinges...couldn't.  So I decided I could spray paint it anyway!  What color did I choose???

TURQUOISE!

 I used my trusty cardboard box that I've been using lately to spray paint things on the front lawn, and it worked wonderfully for this little trick.  I held it up next to the edge of the door so that it wouldn't overspray on anything else, and it was great!  (I only have a little part to touch up on the trim behind the door.)

 The whole door only took 1 can...I was surprised!  I actually bought the can of spray paint for something else...guess I'll have to go get another one! ;o) 

 When I took off the tape I LOVED IT!!!

This is what my front door looked like Monday mid-morning!
Now I want to paint the door knob silver and add a cute saying in vinyl.

What color is your front door?

Lots o' love,

Don't let the door hit you...

After 7 years, it was finally time to replace the last 3 interior doors (of 8) that we bought when we moved in.  Here is the front closet in all it's plainness.

 Close up of the nasty knob...what to do about that without spending a ton to replace all the knobs?

PAINT THEM!!!  Don't you love paint?  It can transform anything!

 I used an oil based primer since I was using it on something that will be used heavily. Then I used this awesome paint, the color is Bronze...which totally fit the look I was going for.  I had this left over from  my ceiling fan makeover.

 While I removed all the door knobs and hardware from the old doors and painted them, my Awesome (yes he is awesome with a capital "a") honey was installing the new doors!!! Oh BABY!!!

 Here is the front closet with the new door all painted a bright, crisp white!

 And don't forget the "new" beautiful door knobs.  YES, that is the SAME knob!

These last two pictures didn't turn out so well...it was late when we were all done and I didn't want to wait until morning to take the pictures.  

I spent today painting EVERY door in my house that same bright white!  THAT'S 10 DOORS PEOPLE!!!

I SO love that all my doors are the same now, and all the knobs match too!!!

Lots o' love,

Megan

Home Office/Guest Room Makeover

 Here are the disgusting BEFORE pictures.  It's not exactly a true 'before' because I already started tearing through papers and pulling things out to declutter, but you get the idea.  It's a very non-functional room.   But boy I have big plans!

 All the office supplies are in this tall cupboard opposite the desk.

 The closet door is currently 24" so it's getting widened to 30".  My husband surprised me last night by bringing home a pre-hung 30" door from The Home Depot!!! Ahh, true love!

Stay tuned for the progress and after pics.
