I would describe my design philosophy as simple, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. So, I faced a dilemma with my front door... (very serious issue). We had a screen door that was quite ugly, but it was so nice to catch the mountain breeze and cool our house off. So after much inner conflict, I finally took it off and painted my door red. I am so glad I did it, it totally adds some welcoming curb appeal and somewhat hides the fact that our house is due for an overall paint job. Much to his surprise, Ryan actually really likes it, too.
I am so glad that someone else stresses out about somewhat "non-significant" (as Scott would call it) issues like what color to pick. I LOVE the red! It's very classy looking, way to be brave!
I love the red color! I have been wanting to paint my door a red/burgundy but am lost as to only painting the outside or also painting the inside? Anyhow looks great!
I got this recipe from my friend Kyra and love it!!!
1 1/2 c. shortening 1 1/3 c. sugar 2 eggs 2 tsp vanilla 3 1/2 c. flour 1 tsp salt 1 tsp soda 1 (14 oz) bottle maraschino cherries chopped (save juice)
Cream sugar and shortening; add eggs and vanilla. Sift flour, salt, and soda together. Add sugar and shortening and egg mixture. Add chopped cherries. Bake at 350 for 8 - 10 minutes.
Frosting: Mix cherry juice, 2 tsp. vanilla and 1 cube butter add powdered sugar one cup at a time, until desired consistency.
