Flamenco Red Kitchen Door

Finally... it's done!  My Flamenco Red Door.  Do you know how hard it is to pick out the perfect red?  I knew exactly what I wanted but there are about a bazzillion different shades of red to choose from.  Benjamin Moore's Flamenco Red is the perfect clear, crisp and bright hue of candy apple red that I was striving for.  L-O-V-E!

If you've been following the blog, you know that this project started about a week ago.  Life has been somewhat non-stop, exhausting, frustrating challenging, so there was a lot of starting and stopping along the way to completing this simple project.  Thankfully, I picked up a helpful tip from a great (and hilarious) blog I started following recently - View Along the Way.  If you put a wet paint brush in a plastic bag and store it in the fridge there's no need to properly wash it after each use - what a time suck.  The cold keeps the bristles soft for a few days so you can start back up with your project whenever you have the time.  Super helpful in my case where I could only find 15 minute increments at a time to paint.  (fyi, i had just gone grocery shopping and cleaned out the fridge, it DOES NOT always look this way!)

The finishing touch for this space will be the addition of a natural fiber 3x5 Jute Rug.  I just need to find one on sale!  Any suggestions?
