Pumpkin Pie Front Door

I love our front door. It might even be the original - a solid wood door with three square architectural blocks. I have wanted to paint it but the big question - what color. We decided to go looking at house and door colors in the neighborhood that I grew up in...otherwise known as my dream neighborhood...to see what color combos we liked. I was really surprised when we both liked this house:
The green house color with the brown molding and tangerine door. Well - that was it - we were going to have an orange door. Off to the paint store to get a dozen color swatches and the decision was made - pumpkin pie.

If you decide to paint your door, I would highly recommend Sherwin Williams for paint, supplies, and advice. They set me up with the correct sanding pad, roller, and grey primer. I am really excited with how it turned out. Next project to budget for...house painting!

Pumpkin Pie Door!
When I was at the fabric store last week, I stumbled on this fun wood inspired print and knew that I would find a use for it. Well - I used the Oregon paper template that I made for my string art project (see May post) and made an Oregon Pillow. Kinda cheesy, but it makes me smile.
