It’s FriYAY!!!!! 😀
Kevin and I are in full-on cleaning/packing/running errand mode, but I wanted to share a fun update about the Bungalow Barn today. It’s got a new coat, y’all…Benjamin Moore’s Caliente!
Excuse the temporary overhead power line, the still-not-fixed barn doors on the end of the barn (they were supposed to be X’ed, not filled with board & batten), and the extra brick that was delivered by mistake. And speaking of works in progress, one day we’ll add a small deck around the breakfast room/entry, too.
I’m so excited to see what it all looks like when our house is painted white! I used Photoshop to alter the photo above, just to see what it’s going to look like when we get home from Haiti:
Here’s a closer-up look at the breakfast room/entry:
I hadn’t really thought about what color the back door would be until I snapped that picture earlier this week. What do you think? Black? Blue?
(Added some more grass in there just for kicks, too!)
Another color? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
i absolutely LOVE the black.
although i wonder what yellow would look like. hmmmmmmmmm. i am on a yellow kick!
that red is fabulous. i am now considering it for my front door. thanks!
xo
Blue, blue, blue! ?
I have a black door on my house, but in this application, I love, love, love the blue. And I prefer the blue you picked out for another, more important reason. It looks like the colors of the Caribbean. I think it will be a happy thing for Steevensen to see as well as you. So go for it! And congratulations to you and Kevin. I’m so excited for you!
Safe journey…
I really like the boldness of the black door with the red and white. I love this barn project. How wonderful to have your little guy living so close to the grandparents!
What would navy look like?
I like the idea of darker blue too – denim like in your Instagram photo or a more royal colour. Also the red/blue combo is a nod to the Haitian flag.
BTW – Sonny looks so big, but I have 2 turning 3 on Monday so I know they are still so little and snuggly at that age too.
Thank you, Lesley! And we were actually so surprised to see that Sonny is still (at age 5 in a couple of months) wearing 3T clothing! :-O He’s 37 lbs and is 37″ tall. Do you feel like that’s normal for his age?
Love the blue; or maybe a light apple green? It’s such a great compliment to red. ?
