Painted Edges

So this coming weekend, is kind of packed but I think I need to find some time to paint my door edges.  I've noticed a trend as of late and I think it adds and interesting component to a plain old door.  Remember, when I mentioned painting interior doors way back when?  Well  I've had a hard time making that leap...probably out of laziness truth be told.  But I think the painted door edge is a good way to get my toes wet in the door painting pool if you know what I mean.  Here's a few inspiration photos.



Love the pop of orange and notice the painted legs on the chair?

This one is my favorite, completely unexpected and a nice compliment to the brown and creams used in the bathroom and hall.

The door color itself is awesome but the contract edging is what makes it.

Curb Appeal

Hello folks, long time no chat.  I hope everyone had a fantabulous weekend.  Mine was pretty good, celebrated a birthday for a friend, took in a Punch Brothers concert and hung out with mi madre.  All and all, an ok weekend.  So needless to say nothing of interest was undertaken at the house, but I have been seriously contemplating how I can fancy up the front yard and add some curb appeal.  Here's a little looky lew at what I am thinking about for the front yard.

This says cottage all over, love the picket fence and massive amounts of greenery with the brick walk way.  

Love the various types of mobile foliage and the pop of color in the rug and of course that door.

 

Now, who couldn't love this.  It is so cute, it just says "come on in, enjoy my cute little home".

Love the mix of modern fixtures and planters with the pop of yellow door paired with the traditional style architecture.

Love, love, love this.  The bright yellow door, with graphic house number and simple planters on the front steps.

Very much a welcoming yard, the fence, greenery and flowers are all so beautiful and work wonderfully together.
