painting | finding the purpose

Last weekend, not only did we work ferociously in our yard, we also painted our front door. We thought long and hard about our color options, which clearly is important. It’s our front door and one of the first things people will see as they pull up to our house. You know what they say about first impressions…well, they say a lot of things about first impressions, but I was thinking a long the lines of “you never get a second chance to make a first impression.” I love the color red, but I feel like everyone is painting their doors red and I wanted to try something different. I also wanted a color that would stand out, so limish green it was! We took the hardware off the door and sweet Kevin polished his little heart out. I didn’t realize how dull our mail slot and door knob were until I saw how shiny they got. I think the new color really does a lot for the appearance of our home. It feels so good to finally see our little abode coming together. Welcome to the Hughey residence, come on in!
