Home improvements


We are busy with home improvements this week again, Our front door was starting to peel, so we just painted it just a shade lighter then it was. The way to our door is a recessed area so the dark red  helps to see it a little better and a nice contrast to our house color I think.  This door way catches the morning sun so it is a nice place to come outside a have a cup of tea or coffee or even eat breakfast on my little table.
My strong  hubby planted these four Thuja emerald green trees to give us a little privacy in our back yard.
Our laundry room is my project. I am painting it a light yellow. Because it doesn't have a window I am thinking I will paint a faux window on the back wall. I will show pictures when I get it all done. 
We have been having really nice weather but now a storm is moving thru. A good day to paint inside.
Well that is all I have for now. 
I hope you are having a good week.

Hi Sharon... thank you so much for visiting my blog and your sweet comment... a cheerful heart is good medicine and joy gives us the strength to keep on keeping on!

And I LOVE your door... I have the same exact door (without the beautiful side panel though) and mine is RED too... sisters in heart we are!!

Blessings!

Wow, it looks like you are doing great in all your redecorating efforts! Love the red door. And I love your idea about painting your laundry room a light yellow and adding a fake window. I want to paint my kitchen (to a light, buttery yellow) and am trying to decide if I'll just do one wall, or all of them. I also want to wait until it warms up (for good! no more rain!) before I do it, so I know I'll be able to leave the windows open for a couple days without freezing. Thanks for the inspirational photos. Springtime just seems like the perfect season to do some sprucing :)
