Am I a little embarrassed that this is what is welcoming people into my home?  A little.  It’s so boring.  That blue welcome mat was there when we moved in and I never thought to change it.  The door knocker has the previous homeowner’s name engraved on it.  There are discolored, dingy hangers everywhere that were used to hang wreaths I am guessing. Those gold numbers are ick.  
It’s about to get a facelift.  Or maybe it already has–depending on when you are reading this.  Paint swatches were taped up all weekend, and after changing my mind 3 or 4 times–Chris and I both agreed on a color. 
Can’t wait to show you!  Feel free to guess what we chose, or tell us what you would choose.  
Either way, bye bye boring white!

    Ooooo- I hope it’s one of the bright, cheery yellow colors! But red is always a classic- can’t go wrong either way!

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
