Honestly, this one has been years in the making.

I was asked three different times if I needed help and on two of those times, I was definitely addressed as “young lady”.I kind of felt like I was in trouble for being in that section of the store.

But I pushed forward and bought my conduit,um,.. thingies!.This is an idea I’ve seen floating around the internets once or twice, so it’s nothing original, but I really like the way mine turned out..These are going to have a special new home very soon, and I’ll let you see as soon as I actually get that project done.

You know how it is!I love my front door.. OK, it’s not really the front door, it’s more of a side door.It leads from the mudroom into the kitchen.

But it’s the door we use most, anyway..

I painted it red to cover up the weird green that was underneath.Not quite the same angle, but you get the idea.. Here’s the room closer to when we moved in:.

And here’s now!.It’s kind of amazing what you can do with what you already have around the house when you put a little thought into it..

They say that paint and lighting are the most dramatic changes you can make to a room.By painting just the little sections of the walls, it really cut the time down.
