Update to Front Porch Facelift!

Ok well I got my vinyl today!!  I’m so giddy!  I ended up going to a local sign shop and the guy cut it for me there.  It was vinyl heaven with lots of colors to choose from and fonts etc.

Sooo, here is my door now!

Do you love it??  It makes such a difference!  I knew it would look good but didn’t know I would love it THIS much.

What I REALLY love is that it matches our trim paint exactly, and is not stark white.  Not that anything is wrong with stark white vinyl, but I like how this still makes a statement, just a little more subtle than bright white.  And if you have bright white trim, white would be the way to go!

Here are some more pics.

I’m in love with vinyl now.  I see a lot more trips to the sign shop in my future, unless of course I win a Silhouette.  Ha!  It definitely does make it more inviting don’t you think?

To see my front porch redo you can click here to see all the before and afters. The vinyl on the door was the last finishing touch!   Hope you like!

  25. eve says

    July 3, 2010 at 12:11 pm

    That front door looks fabulous! I would like to do something like that too. So I have I have a question. (I guess I should stop looking at blogs and start painting.) And forgive me if I’ve already asked, cuz I thought I did, but I can’t find it. Anyway, is your front door a wood door? We’ve got that kind of metal, aluminum, type door (I don’t know what they’re called but I think that’s what builders use now). And I want to eventually paint the front door but I’m a little worried cuz it’s not wood. So…that’s why I’m asking what material your door is. Whew, I hope I’m not too confusing. Thank you!!!

    • Decorchick! says

      July 3, 2010 at 12:22 pm

      Thanks Eve! I’m a dork and not even sure what kind it is, but I think it’s the aluminum kind. Both kinds should work regardless. Let me know. :)

      • eve says

        July 3, 2010 at 4:11 pm

        Haha, I’m the dork. At least you actually do projects, instead of admiring others! Thanks for the tip, I do plan on trying that someday. I’m currently taping off my laundry room to test the rainwashed color! I’m excited :)

        • Decorchick! says

          July 3, 2010 at 10:53 pm

          Sooo, what’s it look like?? You like the color?

    I love it! But I ADORE your topiaries! Are they DIY by any chance?

  28. Cheri Peoples says

    July 5, 2010 at 11:26 pm

    HI!! I LOVE your blog! I just recently found it and so I have been only been following for about a month now. Anyway – I was just poking around today and saw this old post and just love love love it! You have such great ideas and great taste! :) I sell vinyl for a company called Uppercase Living. I am NOT a pressury type at all, but if you are interested in checking it out, I do think you would really like it. Like I said though, please don’t feel pressured – I just saw the “welcome” on your door and thought you might like to check it out. Anyway – jenniferjohansen.uppercaseliving.net Anyway – I think it is much better than other vinyl companies, but obviously I’m biased. :-) OK – I’m done now… haha! I will continue my blog browsing now. THANKS!! -Jenni

2 months later, and it’s still hard. So very har 2 months later, and it’s still hard. So very hard. It is the strangest, most emptiest feeling one could have, and one that not everyone understands.

Tonight was the 3rd griefshare meeting that I’ve attended, and that does help to be around others who have lost someone close. But it is also so painful hearing their stories. And it’s a night during the week that I’m forced to think about how he’s no longer here. It’s helped me to realize all of the thoughts and actions we have are normal, and the things we do that are odd to others, are actually part of the process.

I haven’t been able to wear these shirts of his yet (he wore them every single day. The red one was his “fancy” one), but I’m glad I have them. It’s just really crappy I can’t see him in them any longer. 💔

This is a pain like no other. I watched him take This is a pain like no other.

I watched him take his final breath at 7:24 this morning. The scent of him is still so palpable.

Gone too soon, and years stolen from his wife and grandkids.

We live in the same small neighborhood, right around the corner on the next street. Now the girls can’t ride their 4-wheelers to go see him. We can’t just swing by to pick him up. He can’t go on our walks anymore. There are lots of no-longers, and it is crushing my heart.

Who am I going to call now when I have a question on how to fix something? He had a solution for everything usually saving us hundreds of dollars. Everything was fixable to him, rather than hiring someone. And often he would find the answer on YouTube.

Who am I going to text with when the Astros make a good or bad play during the next World Series?

I want to hear his voice again. I want to go over and cut his hair again. I want to make him another pie for his birthday and Father’s Day.

It hurts so much.

I love you Daddy.
