Ugly Old Shed Door Updated... !

On the back side of our house, we have a little attached shed, thank the lord...

because it's a place where i can keep my 10,000 cans of paint...

 geeesh...that's another mess for another day, 

like not while i'm still alive...

Anyway, it has a metal door, and was painted white that had gotten dirty and grayed over the years, and it had greasy fingerprints all around the door handle... 

I wish i had a before photo

...but you know how it is... 

You are just laying (or is it lying) on your bed trying to take a nap with your dog,

(who is staring out the window, and barking at pretty much anything, each time you almost doze off)...

and you look at the wall color in your bedroom

 and think ... 

I think i'll just go paint the shed door this color

 mr. fracturedfairytale told me the other day that i was a bit impulsive, can you imagine that! 

and then realize later... 

Hey!  that would have made a good before and after!  

Anyway... it went from dirty grayish white to a kinda cool, 

beigey gray color...

the original door was even  muckier than that trim you see, which now needs to be freshened up... so you get the idea...

and... i know, i need to paint the glow in the dark gold wreath hanger too... it's pretty bad

but i was movin fast,

then, once it was dry, 

which was like 3 seconds because the door was hot and the heat index was like 115 degrees

it's been crazy hot !

i just grabbed a basket of faux and dried flowers

and hung it on the door with whatever hanger i had

Would you believe this is the same paint i painted my bedroom with... 

and the same paint i used for a wash on the French Market basket in the previous post

Benjamin Moore "Brandon Beige"

Anyway, i really like it, who knew an ordinary beigy gray could make stuff look so good...

I've been looking at that plain old ugly door for 5 years

it's so funny what a difference just a little change can make

why didn't i think of painting it sooner???

Here was my inspiration door

look how gorgeous this door is

This is from the cute blog 

Bliss Ranch

i hope she doesn't mind me showing her fabulous door!

everything about this is good...

I just found her blog, and can't wait to read more of her posts

 

 and to stay true to my ADHD style and go completely off topic,

i will end this post with some pictures of hydrangeas and roses... 

the rose is "Abraham Darby"

and i think it's wonderful

...the end...
