When Richard Bird, CPA is being Travel Warrior January through March, I find projects.
Project #1: Paint the pantry door. (I hope the Travel Warrior approves. He is a little wary of my projects sometimes.)
The green was left over from when we painted the kitchen walls. The blue I bought as a "sample" can at Lowes. It's great for small projects because you can get the custom color in a half-pint.
The secret to my AMAZING straight lines. (Acrylic Gel Medium.) It is a little pricey but one jar lasts a long time (many projects).
First tape.
Then "paint" the AGM along the tape edge to make a seal.
Once the AGM is dry, paint your color as needed.
** Special note ** Peel tape off while paint is still wet for an edge good enough to please the OCD painter.
I love the way it looks. With the exception of the hideous doorknob... need to do something about that hardware...

oooh, you did it! I like it, but I do think you should paint the wall around the door. I need to get me some of that AGM, as I am the OCD painter.....
Richard is gone for 3 months or on and off during the next three months? If you get bored...which it looks like you won't let me know.
Oh and I really do like the door. And I think you should paint the white wall green also.
I like the door and yes I think you should paint the wall. If you paint the wall I think it will make everything blend more smoothly.
I also agree to paint around the door green. It will make the white moulding around the door pop but that is what moulding is all about. :)

Love the door Jo. I am not sure if I like the idea of painting the wall, I don't like it white but alas I have no suggestions for you. Great idea with the door it has got me thinking about my door...I might see some chalkboard paint in my future.
I vote for painting the white wall. Makes me want to do something to mine!
