{ let's imagine } just a touch of colour

Today's post brought to you by Kelly
Have you been thinking about adding some colour to your house, but you're not sure you're ready to make an all-out colour commitment? Well, here's an easy way to add just a hint of colour in an unexpected place... on the edge of a door!

How's that for a totally easy, and non-committal way to bring a touch of colour into a room?! Of course, you can always go all-out and paint the whole door a fun colour with a contrasting colour on the edge...

Or how about a chevron door?

  2. I think the coloured door edge would take some getting used to and possibly some explaining but it would grow on me, just like those tiny hinge adornments :)

  5. You know I like that idea. Whether it's just the edge or a colourful door with contrasting edge. I'm not afraid of painting doors and that was yet a plan for our new home. I have had my eye on the door to the powder room but I may now look around and perhaps also do an edge here and there in our new place. Thanks for the inspiration Kelly

  10. Love the little pop of color on the door - saw it on Martha (of course!) and have been toying with it ever since! Happy to see people embracing color!

  11. What a fun idea! Such a small spot, but with the right pop of color would make a huge impact.

  12. So cute! I dont think the pops of color would look very good on our solid natural wood doors, but they are awesome against the white!
