Fall Color Tour

________________

Ahh, back into the humid zone here in Michigan.  For a couple of fleeting days we had a small taste of fall and I am sad it’s gone :( .

I know I should be thankful for this summer weather.  Sorry summer lovers, I have had enough.  IT IS TOO HOT!!!  I don’t think I can survive another month of humidity induced bad hair days.  Grilled hot dogs have lost their appeal.  I really can’t eat another bite of potato salad.  And I am seriously considering an industrial sized bug zapper for the mosquitoes in my yard…

You never get a second chance to make a first impression.   So why not add a little color and excitement to your home by painting the front door?  (all photos are courtesy of flickr and creativecommons.org)

I love the contrast between the blue and terracotta.

Isn’t this so inviting?  Symmetry and shutters are a good thing.

A classic look with red, black and white.

Aren’t the black details nice?  Try a softer black like Black Jack 2133-20  to provide crispness without being too harsh.

Okay, the wisteria is overwhelmingly beautiful, but so is the door.  Two subtle colors lend a sophisticated feel to this entry.

The color palette coordinates with the silvery green plants.

Minimalism at its best.  Yellow is striking with earthy neutrals.

Are you this brave?  Glimmer and Clinton Brown, very chic.

I hope you are inspired to try some color.

I came across this Irish Blessing and though I would share it with you:

May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night and a smooth road all the way to your door. (your freshly painted colorful door)
