Lyndale Drive

Say Hello

 

Nothing says HELLO like a fun porch that welcomes guests and says come on in and stay awhile.  Even before we moved in, I had planned on painting the front door a fun golden yellow, only to discover that the neighbors beat me to it.  Can’t be a copy cat so I changed my mind, which Mike says I am very good at and it drives him crazy. Let me tell you, I found that painting your front door a fun color is a great way to meet your new neighbors!  At least that is what happened on Lyndale Drive!  This is what it looked like when we moved in I love, love, love a blank canvas!

On Day 2 in our house I dug out the paint brushes and started painting!  I decided on Valspar Crocodile Style, super cute!  I love it with the two tone Gray of the house and white trim.  I have found that I can add seasonal accents in lots of different colors to really spruce it up!  This sample card does nothing for the color – it person it is absolutely gorgeous!!

Wish I had taken a better picture, but you get the idea!

The neighbor  from across the street came over and introduced herself by saying, jeez – we have lived here a year and haven’t painted our door yet!  I said, it’s nice to meet you and you better get busy if you are going to keep up with the Brungardts!

    Welcome to the blog world, Jodi! I keep dipping one toe in and then taking it out myself. I have several blog apps that I’ve played around with, and I blogged briefly when I had my side business making treats. Anyways – you are so creative – I’m excited that you’re doing this. Maybe you’ll inspire me to get back at it! The “Crocodile Style” is a great color!

      Thanks Mom! I have to give you credit for my creativity! I know you say you can’t draw a straight line with a ruler, but you did allow me to constantly rearrange my bedroom and paint, what seemed to be every other week! From rainbows, to neon green and I believe hot pink! WOW! Am I glad I got all that out of my system!

    You’re right – starting is the hardest part. Going to rip the band aid soon and do this!!
