Last week I tackled a project that had been on my list for quite some time. The front door needed painting badly. And, since we live in a subdivision with a HOA, I decided to just paint it black again since I would have to get permission to paint it any other color. Plus, if I am being totally honest, black looks the best, but I would love to live in a white house where I could change the door color seasonally. And, I had been wanting to paint the back of the front door... and I really wanted that to be black regardless of the front. So, I painted it. And I love the change.
I also hung this big hoop I embroidered with a ribbon and a few tacks tacked into the top of the door.
Now for the boring, tiny before photos of the back of my front door through the ages (seriously, it isn't a long timeline.)
This is the color that I most recently had it painted. It was leftover paint from the dining room and I was just so tired of looking at the white. I also removed the big painted wood piece and am planning on putting something else there. I am taking that piece to my booth at Winchester this week when I go to restock.
We have been living outside for the most part. Eating, playing, reading, crafting... it is all better outside! We went on a little hunting trip Saturday and I found some treasures for me. I will share those soon.
Now, I am off to finish up some pieces for some clients!
I love, love, love that you have taken up embroidery! My Grammy and mother taught me. Your door looks beautiful and is the perfect back drop for your precious hooped sampler.
