Are you guys ready? It’s Summer Block Party time!
Hi everyone. I am super excited to kick of the Summer Block Party Series. Thanks to Ann for having me!!
Let me quickly introduce myself.
My name is Connie and I blog at Measured by the Heart. I write about DIY-home improvements, crafts, cooking, hair tutorials and book club. A little bit of everything. I love to meet new people and I hope you will stop by.
Ok enough of that...let's talk summer!!
My sweet girls go to year round school so they are still in class until mid July. {I know it's sad now, but having 3 weeks off in Sept. and and Jan. is so nice!!} Since I can't really plan a ton of fun summer outings with my girls, I decided to give our house a summer makeover. Starting with our front door. I wanted to brighten it up and let summer greet you first thing when you come over.
Here is a before:
Not bad right, but not great either. Definitely not bright and summery. So I decided to pick a yummy yellow. It took three coats but that isn't bad when you are working on a small surface.
That's definitely better, but I really didn't love the black molding. I decided it needed to go white and I think it MADE the door.
Isn't it funny how that white molding makes all the difference. I LOVE it. Want to see a side by side?
I completely love it!! It's such a fun way to freshen up your home for summer.
I'd love to have you stop by Measured by the Heart. You can also connect with me on social media:
Lately I’ve been loving yellow, and it just makes that door pop! I love the before and after! Thanks, Connie for hosting today and kicking off the series! She has so many great ideas, you’ll love her blog.
