At last! My door has come along!

Ed, bless his hard-working heart, came over today in the ungodly heat and put the final touches on Project Empty: Phase II, Mudroom.



ETA: What I started with:


What I've been living with for the past six weeks:


What I've got now!


At the moment, I'm sitting at the table and thinking that the only thing wanting for my entire satisfaction is for someone to bring me dinner.

Thank you for posting those photos. The before is... not pretty. I can see why it was basically wasted space. The interim is very interimmy if that's a word, which I suspect it's not; and the present day shot is just delightful. I love the orange shade of the paint on the door. I did not realise that orange could be that subtle. And I love the view. Your back garden looks like a lovely place to hang out.

It was the single worst place in the whole house. Making it nice has changed the energy a LOT. Of course, now the second-worst place is in the top spot, and is going to cost a good bit more to fix, but, you know, one thing at a time.

The door was formerly my front door, and it was fashionable a few years ago around here to have a brightly painted front door in some feng shui shade in the red family. I opted for orange, since other parts of the house are in the purple and green parts of the color-wheel, and I've always loved that pumpkiny shade. It looks terrific in back with flower pots near it.

The new front door is in the process today of taking on a lovely espresso shade.
