Our Yellow Door Goes Green

 

I know it was only a few months ago that I painted our most used interior door a bright yellow.  But, that didn’t stop me from repainting it (because that’s what I do, and I’m a little OCD—you all already know that).  I knew I wanted to bring more green into the house, so I chose my paint color by matching up a paint deck to one of my favorite succulents:

And, came up with this:

A little progression of the changes in our hallway:

Sometimes, it just takes a few times to get it right.  And, thankfully, a door doesn’t require much time or paint.  After looking for a while, I also found a rug for our back hallway:

This rug gets a lot of foot traffic, so I wasn’t willing to spend much.  I found this one at IKEA, and the price was right.  (In fact, I think I should buy a back up and store it away for later.)

I’m also working on painting frames and printing pictures for a family wall gallery.  I’ll show you pictures when I get it right.
