A few weeks ago I decided I wanted to start a new project Pantone related. After my #MariasPantone series I stopped using them for a while, but still enjoyed having them at home. If you follow me on Instagram you know by now that I am a huge fan of facades, specially those colourful ones. I've posted so many pics of beautiful doors, windows and building, but London has definitely the best doors ever. I love to walk around and find a street where all its doors are different colours, almost like a crayola box. So I decided to start matching them with my Pantone cards. Here is a little peek of the behind the scenes of how I create them. For those of you how asked me if I carried around with me the Pantone cards all the time, the answer is, yes! Only when I know I will be taking pictures and will have time to explore around. When spotting a beautiful colourful door the next step is to choose which the colour that bests matches the door, and this can take a while. Some times there aren't any colours to match the door, so I have to go to the next one. It is so much fun and I really enjoy doing this series, if you haven't seen it yet, check our the hashtag I created for it. Have a lovely day! Love, Maria

In the midst of a few other projects I had going on, this one got done first! I, like so many out there in blogland, am loving bold front doors that add a pop of color to your entry. I have had this in the back of my mind for months, but finally took the plunge with a less “in your face” color that I think will transition through the seasons well. I loved this front door on Emily A. Clark’s house, (source) but since we don’t have a brick façade I wanted something a tad more bright. I started a Pinterest board with all kinds of green door pins to show my husband what it might look like since initially he was a little skeptical. He ended up being pretty neutral about it after seeing some of them which was great progress so I went ahead and painted it when he went to visit his parents last week. : ) I had Benjamin Moore’s Avocado color matched in a Behr exterior semi-gloss…with the tiniest bit of black added after I thought it was a little too bright olive-y. After the first coat it looked pretty darn awful. And this next picture is actually after the 2nd coat so it looked slightly better, but still… EEEEK!! And I was really questioning my color choice since it looked positively neon in the sunlight!!! But after 5 coats, done over the course of 3 days, it now looks like this: I think our lion is liking his green surroundings… though as always he doesn’t show it. . I found it is difficult to make the green not look flat in pictures. It looks much more vibrant in person, but oh well! And here is a comparison-- Before (this spring when all the plants were new): And now: I think it looks a lot more welcoming and a lot less stark now! What a difference a little paint and some lush plants make!
It all started last year when I was decorating the front porch for fall. The salt air, marsh winds and coastal rains had caused the front door to become faded and worn. It made my whole porch look tired. I’ve tried a lot of different paints over the past few months but there’s been one paint in particular I’ve wanted to try. Enter Modern Masters, Front Door Paint.
