Well if you are a Facebook friend you already know that I painted this door a while ago.. oh this door and I fought.
Let's just say I could win an award for the world's worst painter. But Casey was at work and I had too much time on my hands at work. So I decided- on a whim I might add- to paint my door. It was a barf ugly green door. I don't know whoever decided to pick out that color but they shouldn't have. So out with the old in with the new.
(Sorry about the wreath picture- for some reason all of my pictures disappeared and well this was me doing my best to try and find the pictures again)
The color is Full Sun by Valspar
Now really.. I want to know who thought it was a good idea to paint this door barf green? Maybe it just isn't for me and someone might say that about my yellow door.. but hey, I like it. Here are some tips for the bad painters out there attempting this project. Be patient. I lack that on all levels and this is why the door and I fought. To go from green to yellow was obviously going to take some coats. I did coat one and it was bad (but it was smooth) Let the paint dry for a good amount of time before you go on to the next coat. I just kept going. I was determined to get that door yellow.. I think that's where I messed up. After time it started getting clumpy and runny and awful. I had a mental break down. I took many wet paper towels and started wiping off the paint. I didn't know what else to do. This door was about to be garbage. Well after about a roll of paper towel on the floor I got most of the paint off.
And then I waited.. (which I should have done in the first place)
Needless to say WAIT people. This is an easy project, just not a quick one. The next day I did one more coat to even out what I had wiped off and this is what I got. I'm pretty proud of the color. If you have been in my house you know I like colors on the bright side. It isn't every one's cup of tea but I like it and I live there.
On that note, have a bright and sunny day :)
