The color is Olive Grove from Magnolia Paints and I picked it up at our helpful, friendly Ace Hardware. 

Do you want to see some houses with green front doors? Here are some favorites. Remember, most paint formulas are in the databases of major paint retailers that they can mix in their brand of paint.

* Adeline by Graham and Brown on Instagram on a front door with a stone exterior.

* Benjamin Moore Night Train on doors and an accent wall!  I had this in my Pinterest and can't remember which designer it came from?? I think it was a Utah Parade of Homes? Anyway, I would love to give you credit if it's yours - let me know! Thanks

* Benjamin Moore Cape May Cobblestone on interior doors at the House of Silver Lining

* Intrigue by Benjamin Moore at Studio McGee on a bathroom cabinet

* Green Glade from Dulux Paint from Louise Mackay on a front door - also see here from @kwanstallinteriors

Hooray for green doors! These all make me want to paint everything green. 💚

purge–verb (used with object)

1. to rid of whatever is impure or undesirable; cleanse; purify.          

2. to rid, clear, or free

We have been purging. We took 3 of these loads to the Goodwill. It feels sooooo good. Originally, I was going to throw it all in the attic and bring it down for a spring yard sale. And I saw how much there was, and I thought of the sorting and the pricing, and I just wanted it out. Out of our house and away from me in case I changed my mind. I was just in one of those throw it out! I don’t care! moods, where everyone in your family is laying over their valuables to protect it from being thrown into the pile. (Except for my husband who was looking on with pure delight)

I’ll show you some pictures soon!

Last week, I was in Benjamin Moore talking painting kitchen cabinets and the guy suggested getting a quote on having it done professionally. He said it may not be as bad as you might think since it’s usually slower in the winter for painters.

So, we had one of the recommended painters come over and this morning he called with the quote and this is what I scribbled down:

Not going to happen. So, here they sit waiting for me to take them out of their state of oak. I need a perfect white kitchen cabinet color. Not too white, not too cream…just a perfect creamy white. Suggestions?? I need to get going on this dreaded project….

Happy Monday~

  This bathroom was designed by Margot Austin. Isn’t it just lovely and serene? She has a blog and this is in the River interior {much more loveliness to be had over there}

I emailed to ask the fabric name and paint color and she emailed back!

Fabric: Four Seasons in the color Winter by Victoria Hagan Home

{melissa note: I found it here, but I’m sure it’s a pretty penny}

Paint: Farrow & Ball paint in Lamp Room Gray.

{melissa note: if you go to colorcharts, a 97.7% match is Behr’s Plymouth Gray if you don’t have Farrow&Ball near you}

Margot also said:

“I got the fabric from Primavera, a showroom in Toronto that sells to the design trade. If you aren't a designer or aren't working with one, you might try googling the fabric name to see if you can find a general retail source.

I also think the fabric of the IKEA Stockholm Blad curtains in the neutral colourway has a similar neutral leafy feel, so you an see if you like that one...”

Thank you for the inspiration and sharing the info with us, Margot!

Happy Thursday~
