House Tour

Our front door is painted with Front Door Paint and it has held up beautifully.Our dining room table and benches were made by my Dad when he and my Mom were first married.More cupboards that need painted white.This old cupboard with a screen door was a purchase made at the Country Living Fair years and years ago – back before I knew what a blog was!

This was long before I’d discovered cool paint like chalk paint, milk paint, and Paint Couture.

Front door walks in to dining room?

I am about to purchase a house and I'm thinking about all the possibilities for updates etc.We want to tear down the wall that separates the living room and kitchen to make it more open.

Front door walks in to dining room?
My delimma is.... after we tear down the wall it makes more sense to swap the living & dining room (right next to each other) BUT that will cause the dining room to be near the front door.Is that weird to walk into a dining room (even though it's in a great room)??

The last picture I am standing in the dining room & the wall to the right will be torn down.)

I Can't Decide On A Front Door (Interior) Color

I’ve tried several things over the years to kind of separate this area from the main seating area of the living room.If my front door were inside an actual separate entryway, my paint color options for the interior of the front door would be much wider.

I Can't Decide On A Front Door (Interior) Color
But since this door is right there in the living room, I just don’t know if I can make any other color work.It’s also on the fireplace, which is on the wall directly opposite the entryway wall.For reference, here’s the fireplace wall, directly opposite the dark teal entryway wall.
