I see a brown door and I want it painted BLUE!

 I am very excited with my new BLUE door.

My back door was a mundane wooden door which you find at every hardware store in town.  When the plans for our house were drawn up, we failed to realise that our back door which goes out of the scullery to the washing lines is right in full sight.

Concentrating so much on the details of “more important finishes” like lights and cupboards and cornices etc, we once again failed to pay enough attention to this back door in full sight.

Someone once had wise words, that when you have a furniture item which does not really go with any of your other stuff, or it is an odd colour, or a different, out dated style -then instead of hiding it; make it a feature…and the ugliness of the item can be turned around into something really striking.

It is exactly what I did with my mundane door – I painted it blue!.. and now it is a great asset to my home.
