I made a Home Depot run and...

I found them!!



Just for sh*ts and giggles I went down the hinges aisle to see if they carried decorative hinges.
I found the exact Colonial style strap hinges I wanted for my beadboard bi-fold doors.
Hip-Hip Hooray!

But I'm not quite sure how to put them up yet. These are for solid garage doors. My bi-folds are the cheapy hollow ones.

Maybe Gorilla Glue?
Liquid Nails?
ABC bubble gum?? ((giggle))

As you can see, Stella was quite intrigued with the box.



Technically, my trip was to buy the red paint I wanted to re-paint my red doors in the kitchen. (I know. Crazy, huh?)

But it's a different red. Right now, it's the red I had painted my kitchen cupboards. More like a maroon red. It was a color I mixed up myself and had them match.
I know it's a nice color, but it reminds my of my "old" kitchen.
I worked really hard on my kitchen redo and the doors are a constant reminder of the old kitchen.



The red I'm painting them is the red I used on my French doors. Behr's "Awning Red."
It's a wonderful red. It's more brown. But doesn't look it here with the camera flash.



Once I paint the doors I'm hoping my sweet hubs will FINALLY fix them! It's been a standard joke around here for the past 6 years.

Neither one of us are carpenters. So when we ordered those beautiful wood doors "we" (ahem) measured wrong. They are too short but he hung them anyway.

I've been asking him for the past 6 years to somehow lower them and add some trim to hide "our" (ahem) error. But to date, he hasn't.

Since my half a century birthday is fast approaching, I told him all I want for my birthday is for him to fix those doors.

Ummm. Maybe it will happen for my century birthday celebration. Or when pigs fly.
Whichever comes first.

Have a terrific weekend all!
