There are ten 8oz containers of paints for Behr... Not only were they a GREAT bargain, there was FREE SHIPPING.... They came with color swatches for the paints I ordered but also swatches for coordinated colors in case I wanted a darker, lighter or brighter version... (see the 3 blues on the right)
There are 10 colors and after looking at them all I'm happy with my choices but think I need to add one more.. a darker purple to balance the deep poppy red...
11 colors and fancy trims....what fun!!!
Now I have the actual colors the next step will be doing the door to scale and playing with color placement with my chosen colors... I know I also want some stenciling on the door and some birds... I will do several versions and let you give some input...
I know I have lots of bits and pieces of fancy trims stash in the barn left from other projects... some only 12" but hope to find places for everything I have. After I inventory what I have a trip to Windsor Hardware and Trim will be my last stop...The hardest part will be waiting until June when it is warm enough to remove the door and DH is out of town.. Some of the trim around the door I can do in the barn ahead of that time.......
Yesterday I found the empty granola bin sitting right in front of my coffee pot... I suppose this to be one of my DH's subtle hints. I didn't get it done but I did bake him a berry pie... Today starts the second of my Level One classes at the thread store...

I'm really looking forward to seeing this door finished but being the lazy sort myself I'm thinking of all the preparation before the actual painting. I hate this part. I wonder, does your door need much rubbing down etc?

You are going to have so much fun while DH is away. I can hardly wait until you start posting your ideas. Although I do think I need a nap - when you were talking about trim I was envisioning lace and ribbon rather than wood trim (grin). You'll have to keep DH's jar full so he is very happy - especially when he sees the new door to his home.
Oh Gosh! That paint is scrumptious! What a beautiful door that will make! Can't way to see yours!
your door is going to be spectacular when done, wonderful colours
What a wonderfully joyous array of color!! What a door it will be!
