As I mentioned in my last post, I have plans to paint my front door black. Besides the door itself, I have sidelights on either side of the door. Everything is currently white. {The lantern lights normally on either side of the door are being spray painted with a fresh coat of black paint}.
In looking around blogland, I’ve noticed that many people who have this set up do not paint their sidelights the color of the door. They leave them white. I just assumed I would paint the sidelights black as well. Here are some pictures of front doors {that I found through Google} with the sidelights painted and some without.
I love the molding around both this red door {above} and the black door {below}.

Which way do you think it looks better? If you painted your own front door, but not the sidelights, was there a reason?
Since I’ve been a little busy lately {client, baby shower, day job, cleaning up outside mess made by hubby when he did the siding}, I haven’t had much time to do any projects. I do have a big one coming up after the shower. I’ll be painting my white front door and sidelights black. Well, it’s a big project to me.
Meanwhile, so it doesn’t look like I fell off the face of the earth, I thought I’d share some random photos {plus I needed to clear them off my camera card}. I finally found something I liked for the background of my Welcome print. That’s done and hanging up now.
I bought an Ektorp slipcover for one of our Ektorp chairs {which I’ve had for about 15 years}. What a great buy for $29.00! I decided it made the living room look too crowded so it’s back upstairs in our bedroom’s sitting area.
Finally, some pictures of our backyard, which I’ve been trying to pretty up a bit for the baby shower, as well as for us when we are out there.
I was spray painting our front door lanterns that day.
That’s all I got for now. Baby Shower is next Saturday!
