Color Crush: Orange

Fall has finally come to our little desert valley. Well, sort of. It kind of comes and goes. But it has made me start thinking twice about wearing skirts and dresses with no tights, cause in the morning when it is chilly I'd be too cold. I'm a big baby when it comes to the cold. Over on Long Distance Loving today's Friday's Fancies is "Fall Color Crush."  This fall I am loving all kinds of colors, but one of my favorites has always been orange.  I love it pretty much all year long, but I really love it in the fall!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

DIY: Fun Front Door

I love a bold front door.  I always have.  I painted my front doors royal blue.  I love it and it never fails to solicit a compliment.  It is a great backdrop for photos and holiday wreaths.  In Europe it is more common to  have a boldly painted front door, and we Americans are just figuring it all out.  Take a cue from these  photos and grab a quart of paint!

I was inspired by...

This European inspired Christmas spread many years ago and the blue doors stuck in my head. via country living

Emerald green...Ozma!  Sorry, I couldn't resist! via sweet life in the valley

What a perfect shade of orange!

My friend, Min, is very trusting and when I said that she should paint her front door yellow her response was, "Approved. When do we start."  I love that!

Looks pretty great, no?  She did a great job!
