It's White It's Black....Yeah...Yeah...Yeah

Finally! I am posting pictures of my front door makeover. And thanks to all of you wonderful decorators, I made a decision to go from a white door to black. (It's white, it's black...yeah yeah yeah....remember MJ's song?)

Here is my door before:

And after a little black paint:

I really, really like it!

I needed a little something to go with the front door makeover so I remembered these ice-cream/soda shop chairs that I was blessed to receive from Mr. Incredible's Mimi. Perfect!


Here they are in their natural, rustic state:



I thought of all of you spray painters extraordinaire and grabbed my can of black spray paint. While I waited for them to dry, I put together a wreath for my front door. I seem to be the only house on our street with a wreath. Do you have a wreath on your front door?

Anyway, I bought this wreath at Hobby Lobby; it was 50% off:



I like it, but it just needs a little something extra, don't you think?

I pulled out my handy dandy hot glue gun...oh how I heart you:

....and a few feathers and black and white gingham ribbon:

I just added a little hot glue to the feather stems (that sounds funny...feather stems) and put them in place. I made a little bow and wired that in too:

I added a new welcome mat (from Target):

Added the chairs and some potted red geraniums (thank you mom):

And walla.... I love it!
The plants on my front porch have never been so well watered. I just love going outside my front door now. I had to add our Baylor stone piece to the mix because the majority of our neighbors are Texas Tech fanatics. Sic 'em bears!

I almost forgot, I spray painted the lanterns black too and I didn't shock myself or get paint on the brick or anything. I call that a great day and a great project!

Joyfully,

Kristi
