In the end, the robin's egg blue door was an abject failure. By "in the end," I mean "after two coats". Tom (also known as "the lovely painter") suggested red, and so we went with a nice madder color. I love it. The doors have six coats, in the end, though the screen door (to which he added a bottom panel and took out the scrolled corner brackets) has just 4 so far.

almost done
Still to do (lovely painter, not me, thank heavens): Second coat of main color. Replace lattice under porch. Take brick off roof.
Still to do (me): This year, just wait for plants to grow. I planted old roses in the back bed (on the right) though they're not really visible here. This year, I planted two climbers against the porch, and put the wires up yesterday. The urn has lavender, mints, and sweetpeas, and that's lady's mantle, artemisia, more lavender, some irises, pansies and violas in the front bed. There are also two roses waiting to be planted, and I'm thinking of putting them in front, on the far right (not visible here) next to the neighbor's driveway.
