Okay, here is a confession: I'm not very daring. I don't like to rock the boat or do the unexpected because I think the "normal" thing is usually what I typically like best.
I've been thinking about painting my front door. I know, I know, not too daring, but I've been thinking about a surprising color for it. Lime green. Soft mustard. Something like that. So when I saw a commercial on TV saying Ace Hardware was giving away a free quart of paint today, I decided to just do it.
The "before" wasn't bad at all, but I just wanted something more interesting. In the end I couldn't get either the lime green or mustard because they both used a yellow base which wasn't included in the giveaway, but got this instead:
I know. Orange. Isn't that cool and funky? Oh, and a 4-5 coat paint (grrr . . .). I'm not sure if that's due to the paint I'm using or that it's a light color going over a dark one or that my brush is not a super-smooth one.
