Those Palm Springs houses put mine to shame and gave me some renewed enthusiasm for house projects, though time will tell how short-lived. Inspired, I eagerly painted our old front door the day after we got home before I even unpacked.To clarify, this door is on its way out as a new one sits in the garage waiting to be installed. But I’m sure it won’t be replaced for a least another few months and I was sick of looking at the beat up beige interior of this one. I took this opportunity to go peachy coral for a moment with some unused paint from the garage. I can’t get enough of it and, though I don’t want this color long term, it’s fun to live with it for a little while. Why didn’t I do this years ago?
In other incredibly exciting front door news, a new-to-me vintage escutcheon arrived! I’m obsessed. It’s the original model of the reproduction Samba escutcheons that Rejuvenation sells. After so much internal debate about what knob/escutcheon to get for the new door, my heart kept coming back to this. I really prefer vintage and waiting it out finally paid off. I was thrilled to have this NOS piece fall from the eBay sky a few weeks ago and now it’s all mine! Adding this to the list of fixtures I need to take with me if ever we move out of this house.
Can you share the coral paint color please?

It was an at home, on the fly mix…Behr California Coral with bright orange (I think Behr Raging Bull). Not very helpful, I know :(
