Favorite thing No. 20b (for blue)

Choosing the color was difficult at first,
until a friend sent me a picture she found in a magazine
and then it all just fell into place.  

I looked online just to be sure...
and found one delicious photograph after another.  

 And so it was a simple thing to tell the painters:

 Electric Blue.  Noxema Jar Blue.  Bottle Glass Blue.  Copen Blue.  Delft Blue.

Whatever you want to call it.
 
I want a BRIGHT BLUE DOOR.

(And this bright blue door is one of my favorite things about my cottage.)

Shut the front door and get on over to Claudia's Favorite Thing Party!

  2. I don't blame you! That color of blue is perfect. I think Noxema Jar is the perfect way to describe it!

    Thanks so much for joining in this week!

  7. My granddaughter walked in while I was looking at your doors and said she liked the one with the kitty on the roof! Of course! I really like the 2nd one against the yellow and the way that lovely vine grows around it!
    Thanks for your visit last week!

  8. Thanks to each of you for your votes of confidence! But will you just look at that little mail slot and how low it is? It was such a contortionist's act for anyone to put mail through it, and far too small to accommodate anything but the tiniest letters. I finally bought an old-fashioned mailbox with a red 'flag' arm on it.. to the great relief of our mail carrier, I'm sure!

  9. Noxema blue--I love it! I feel 15 again just thinking of that jar. I love bright, bold doors--my front door is a cheery yellow!

  10. Love your door and the 'Noxema jar blue' is perfect. That is quite the mail slot too! Must be for gnome mail. :)
