So I've had this project in mind for some time, but was a little scared to tell the hubs about it. Most of the time, he is very supportive of my whims, but every now and then I can push the envelope just a bit too far. The thing is I have fallen in love with the accent door...
Isn't it just too cute?!? I had to have one. Using my best smile & kindest voice, I told him about the idea... and he LOVED it! Yeah for me and yeah for the accent door!
The problem is I couldn't figure out which door would be best. Most of the rooms in our house have multiple doors and it isn't really an accent if you have multiple accents... know what I mean? After seeing this post about Jenny's updated entryway, I decided that our back door was the way to go. It is a stand alone door and would add a great pop of color to the hallway.
Several paint chips later, I narrowed it down to the blue family.
After making my final selection, I got down to the task at hand. I gathered my supplies, taped everything off and lightly sanded the door. Any guesses on the final color?
You guessed it... BLUE, but not any old blue. This is Behr - Beach Towel. Needless to say, it's no whimpy accent door. After one really good nap from the monster & 3 coats of paint, we are left with this...
and I LOVE it! It looks great throughout the day and just makes me happy. Isn't that really what it's all about?
Cheers,
Jessie
