Yes, I brought my color card to bed with me. I'm such a nerd. I'm having a slight obsession with minty blue. Basically mint, but more on the blue side than green, so, really, basically pale blue - I know, I know - it's hard to describe, and I do a terrible job.
Yesterday, I had to run to Lowes to get some cleaning essentials, and, of course, decided that checking out potential front door paint colors would be a better use of my time. Our new house has a red door, and while I have nothing against red doors on other houses, it's just not me. I just can't do red. I love it when other people do it, but I can't live with it in my own home, which is weird because it's like, why can't I just hate it. Ironically, the real Belclaire House that inspired this blog was cream with dark blue shutters and a red door, which is exactly what I'm getting in a few months! But, alas, I have to be true to myself and I'm seriously considering a pale minty blue front door.
I found Valspar's Stillness which is a creamy minty pale blue and it's heavenly! I painted a giant foam board so when the time comes I can hold it up to the house rather than testing colors on the door. I fell asleep last night dreaming of my minty pale blue front door flanked by blue and white pots filled with hydrangeas - I don't know if I can wait 4 months for this house!

Anyway, now that I've chatted your ear off, enjoy some of these links:
