While I was procrastinating cleaning the basement and our walk-in closet, I decided to repaint the front door. And not only repaint but change the color. From a tired, faded, dull-looking red…
…to a deep, rich, shiny, olive green.
Plus I cleaned up the brass hardware.
I’m not sure I like the new color. Change can be difficult. I think it’s the shininess that has thrown me. And I usually have something hanging on the door but I want to let this paint harden before I decorate it.

It’s growing on me. The door was red for 24 1/2 years and it’s so different. I think my door decor will show up better and not compete with the color with this neutral tone.

Wow! Amazing transformation! Our red front door could use some paint, maybe it is time to change up the color?
So how is the closet? 😈

Thank you!
The closet is still a disaster but the basement is now top priority. Mr. Aitch saw a small greyish-brown critter scurrying under a shelving unit! At least it’s cool down there.

Darned critters!!! I wish they would not go where not welcome. I have relocated 6 red squirrels this week, and the bug man filled the mouse bait traps, and we have not heard creatures in the walls in a while. Of course, we have been sleeping with the fan on so might not have heard them… time will tell. Good luck with your creature!
