One thing I adore about the U.K. is their use of color on the exterior.  And bold colors at that.  The building may all be the same but the doors and/or trim has a personality all of it’s own.  We don’t see that much in my side of the world but I love it.  And I have to say I’m about to give it a try.  Here are a few more inspiration pictures from England that display some lovely color.

 This is probably my favorite picture that I took.  I have been wanting to paint my front door (a color like this & my brick is somewhat similar in color) so when I saw this I had to snap a picture and really I had no idea how lovely this picture would turn out.  So this is now one of my summer projects, painting my front door.  Any pointers for painting a door?

Last time we were in Europe my husband had to snap pictures of almost every Starbucks we came across…so this one was for him.  Tonight as I was going through the pictures I just noticed that on the bottom of the window frame it says “Hardcastle” and I about flipped out because that is my grandpa’s last name (mother’s maiden name).  I didn’t even notice it when I was there so I have to say this picture is a real treat!

And again just a sweet store front with a bold color that just flows so right with the old red brick!
