Our Front Door
Julie showed us some of the cool door knobs in her house. We are living in a house that we have been building for the last 2 and a half years. There is a lot of finishing to do. One thing I am dying to do is to paint our front door. I finally have decided on a color, which is the big color swatch on the door. It is a Benjamin Moore color called Hudson Bay , which is a large bay in Eastern Canada- very important in the history of our nation. I liked the name- silly, but I need to like the name as well as the color! Go on over and visit Julie if you would like to link up to show us something around your house.

Of COURSE you have to like the name of the paint too. I get it. :-)
It will look very nice, but I'm afraid you will have to get new flower pots. Those blue ones will be lost against a blue door. Maybe you should get some red ones that would add some zing!
I also need to like the name of my paint. Our living room is Benj Moore Oklahoma Wheat. I certainly wouldn't have picked it if it was named curdled cream!
That is why I love coming here--I just love your brain!
Now I know you don't want to name your kids or pets(not that they fall into the same category of course) something you don't like, but I did not realize that paint fell into that same important issue. :)
I love your front door and the lead up to it. I love it the way it is but the blue will be nice and draw the eye in. I guess not being from ya'lls area-- the name does not quiet mean as much. Kind of like the last color I purchased for my living room was, Navajo White--wouldn't mean so much to ya'll. No I am not Indian more so Italian. Wish I had some of the other then I would not need a tan for my fat to look better. :)
Well enough flapping my lips-- I need to go post.
Talk at ya later.
In my bloglines it looked to be the same color as your flower pots, right?? it's a very pretty color.
Good luck with that! Be sure to show us the finished project!
It is almost the same color as my pots. Kathleen is right- i should get some red ones. See, the door was originally going to be a greeny-blue or a rust red. I couldn't find the greeny blue I wanted, and my hubby didn't like the red. I am not sure when we will paint... I will post pics when we do.
We picked a "Picasso Blue" for our dining room and I love Picasso and now I love our dining room. I could stare at it for hours. Just the walls. Not the floor, which is NOT Picasso Blue, more like Messy Toy Mauve.
I love that color of blue. Great name too. "Hudson Bay" sounds much better than something like "Gulf of Mexico" Or "Okeechobee Lake" (in Southern Florida). You'll have to post a picture when it's done.
Hey girl -
I know you're not condemning - Hebrews 10:25 - not to forsake the assembling of yourselves - but it doesn't say that has to be at church - it means that Christians are supposed to live in community with each other. We are praying for God's next step - but that may be having a home church in our house - or something else.
The world is wide open.
I may address this in a follow-up post!
I like the color...very in blueish.
Love the blue! It will look great on your door, and I do agree with how pretty your entrance area is.
i think it will look great.. i like deep colors..
