Whimsy
A front door, if you believe the hype in decorating magazines, is supposed to be warm and welcoming.
The front door on my southern colonial ranch-style house has always looked at bit, well, bland. And boring.
Wanting to spiff it up a bit, I decided to paint it yellow. I thought a yellow door would add a touch of whimsy to the place.
The yellow was a bit brighter than I expected, but what the heck.
Not bland and boring any more, is it?
It's downright whimsical.

I like it.
Love it!
After painting my florida kitchen purple, I asked my husband what color I should paint the bedroom. All he said was "not purple".
Your door looks like sunshine...
I love color!
Yellow is a risky color and you pulled it off perfectly. I have seen many shades of yellow on houses that are much too harsh. Making sure your yellow is not too bright and has a buttery tone is key.
BTW: The apple and flowers are the warm, inviting touch you needed and complete your look. Nice job! I bet you feel as if you've found a brand new home to enter!
