Smart Splashes of Color

Summer is a time for fun and COLOR!  I spent the whole school year in a room with beige walls.  Many of my walls at home are a neutral color.  I was starting to feel like I was living in someone else's house.  Sometimes we paint rooms a safe color "just because."  So . . .

I took the plunge and choose my favorite color for our front door--Tapestry Teal.  I had been thinking about it for years!  But our front door remained a "safe" tan color for TEN years.
 This weekend between rain storms I braved it out on the front porch and added some color.
 Yes, it's a BIG change that not everyone is happy with!  No names mentioned to protect the family.  I think I even heard some gasps from some early evening walkers.
 But when you add flowers, Pier One pillows, and Fourth of July decor, I am glad I took the plunge!
 Because what is life without a little color.  I am sure that from now on I will often hear  . . .
  Oh, I know the house . . . . the one with the door!  

What COLOR project  will spice up your life this summer?

Have a colorful 4th!
