Purple door and no one cares

We are supposed to be doing important things with our lives. Making changes. Helping others. But...

The past 2 months I've been in a stalled mode. Not moving forward. Forced to wait while others do their jobs so that I can do mine. Frustrating for sure and for certain. I am not one to wait well. What is that old saying? "Idle hands are the devils workshop"? And it is not like I don't have things I couldn't accomplish right now, the problem is? I am in a stalled mode.

Finally roused my asstibula to do SOMETHING. And this is what I did..........

YES. I always paint my front door purple. There are lots of ideas and theories about why weird people paint their doors purple in this world. Some say it is a regal color and signifies ROYALTY. Warm and inviting. Some people even believe that it signifies a WITCH lives in that house. That doesn't count for me unless you are counting my foul mood. Even then you would need to change that W to a B for it to fit me today. I just happen to like this shade of purple so I paint my front doors with it. It doesn't always go with the color of the house I am living in but I don't really give a rats behind. But yes. I will eventually paint the house too.  I WILL need to change the door hardware eventually also. Right now it is 1980's bright gold and looks odd. Anyways, I love the copper detailing I did to this door.

Unfortunately detailing means taping and actually being careful and steady with your paint brush. Which I was not in the mood for but did anyway. I loved this so much that I had a little light bulb over my head that pinged and said, "Why do just your FRONT door? WHY not do your BACK DOOR too? So I did. But that meant extra taping on not just one but TWO doors, because they are French doors.

I did one door at a time. Because I can do that if I want to and no one can stop me.

One down. One to go.

Miss Elizabeth Bennett was not impressed. Come ON Lizzie! Purple is a GREAT color! Now to actually WASH the windows. Then I can accomplish cleaning off that nasty back porch, pulling the old flooring off, replacing it correctly with pressure treated decking, painting the decking, adding the porch posts and covers, painting that and THEN. Start on the front porch. After I paint the house. But before I re-do the floors in the living room.

I wish I kept booze in the house. I'd totally drink it.
