Do me @tinyhumantoe

We are going to get a nice wood door but until then, I could go for painting the door. Our shutters are navy.

I would totally paint your door red.

Flamingemu · April 2014

We are having a huge party this weekend and even though I was home sleeping most of the day, I feel like I squandered an opportunity to clean. I just hope L cooperates enough to let me do some tonight now that I feel a little better,

No, I don't think I would like that with the reddish brick.

ETA: but show me a pic because I really can't picture a red door on my house.

MrsKipper · April 2014

@hmp1 I would do a fun light blue or teal a la Young House Love. Especially if you had black shutters. That would look so cute!

I'm on a teal door kick right now, though!

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

Man, this is hard. I don't think the picture is high enough res.

I'm embarrassed to even show you this try, haha

MrsKipper · April 2014

Nola is about to hit hour 4 of her nap. While it's been great and I've gotten a lot done, she's totally not going to nap the rest of the week.

PenelopePond · April 2014

The picture is the one from Google Maps. I did a screen shot. Sorry

. Plus that crown over the carport is awesome (my doing!).

I think the black shutters look good, and I know DH would go for the blue door.

Thank you

Haha. I love the second pic;)

I'm trying really hard to get through this thread but it's loooong! ...

I actually like it a lot as is, HMP. Or maybe a colored door but with white shutters. I guess I just really like white haha.

Not painting the shutters. The door is getting replaced with one like this but slightly lighter stain:

Love this door, stain color and textured glass. Wouldn't need the side lights though. Craftsman Exterior TDL Mahogany Wood Front Entry Door Style

I'm boring I guess. I was thinking about just matching the shutters until we get our new door.

PenelopePond · April 2014

Btw...I know you can't see the mailbox well from the pic, but it's a golf bag

). I'm sure you're all jealous.

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

@hmp1 I think I would do red, white, or some variant of a gray blue

I can't quite get the blue gray right.

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

the green wreath on the red looks too christmas. I'd do something else.

It's totally the winner, ain't it? hahahahahah

PenelopePond · April 2014

I looked in Pinterest. Here's a few I like but clearly they aren't the same style as our house.

redneckmomma25 · April 2014

Love those colors cheese.

I like the Young House Love house's door but I just don't think I like it for me. You know?

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

There is something about their entry that I don't like. I love the door.

This is more my style, minus the giant ferns taking over the walkway.

You really can't go wrong with any of those, but I will say that on your style of house, I'm a huge sucker for white with black shutters, red door, yellow wreath, ..... or the same with gray or tan house color.

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

@hmp1 I think you'd win with a gorgeous blue (lighter than navy, with either more gray or teal in it but not as 'bright' as my mockup), red, white, or the wood door. It's more of a classic style of house, and those colors all work.

This was the original plan. We will probably go with it so that it's more neutral.

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

omg I love ^^that^^ color scheme. A teal-gray house, black shutter, and orangey red door. Swoon!

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

@penelopepond i like it!

PenelopePond · April 2014

Ooh I like those colors! They'd probably look good on a small house, too.

My neighbor's house is yellow. People either love it or laugh at it. I think the laughing is more because most of the houses in our neighborhood are brick so it really sticks out.

PenelopePond · April 2014

That is gorgeous! We live in a depressing looking area, so that's why we were thinking of something a little brighter. It's sad how difficult it is to pick paint colors.

tinyhumantoe · April 2014

@PenelopePond‌ it would look SO cute on your house

I may have to go to Lowes tomorrow, get some paint cards, and convince DH. It's neutral and bright(er than what we have). Good find!

redneckmomma25 · April 2014

The living room and dining room flow together. The kitchen is kinda separated. If that helps. I feel like it could be a different complimentary color. Excuse the mess and baby.

PenelopePond · April 2014

MelsaX- I think the colors you said would look nice. I love the way your house looks!

Redneck- those pictures cheese put up would look great!

ETA: I clearly suck at picking paint colors, so my opinions here could be crap.

AKB090609 · April 2014

I'm going to AW myself here, I cleaned and organized our whole utility room during DD's nap today, DH was supposed to get it done over Christmas/New Years, but never got around to it. I'm so proud of my self. Plus I got a bunch of stuff ready for our neighborhood rummage sale!

Here's hoping I can keep up the productivity and get the closet cleaned out tomorrow so that the new baby gets a closet!

PenelopePond · April 2014

I wanted this color for a door but DH said it was too bright.

BPer · April 2014

I really want a red door. We can't decide whether to go white, with black shutters and a red door, or light tan with white trim, black shutters and a red door.
I've seen some beautiful white farmhouses, but I'm worried that white siding will look dingy after a short while.

Go for it! If you paint your house a neutral color then that could really pop and look cute! But like I said, I'm on a bright front door kick! I plan on painting the door of our new house something in that family. I was going to do it to this house but now that we're selling it we decided to go with red since it's more common.

MrsKipper · April 2014

I just made a run to Wal Mart and had Braxton Hicks the whole time I was walking around. So annoying! They've steadily been happening more often and I still have 5.5 weeks left!

I feel like we're never going to come up with a name for this baby. DH doesn't like anything I suggest, but hasn't had 1 single suggestion other than Odin, which I said no to.

Neither of us like trendy names, but all of our guy friends have "classic" names, so it feels weird to entertain those ideas when we know people with so many of them...

We both like Daniel, I still like Walter, but nothing seems to actually stand out. I feel like it was a lot easier to name a girl...before my Dad died, we had a really solid list of girl names that we liked equally. After he died and we wanted to use James, Nancy just seemed to fit perfectly with that MN. I don't know why this is so difficult.

I feel your pain. Finally at 38 weeks DH and I agreed on a boy name. I'll be 39 weeks tomorrow and we still don't have a girl name. I think I could have written your post word for word. I also love Walter but DH says that it reminds him of an old man name.
