Seriously, it was bad.. And I knew it was bad, but I didn’t really realize how bad it was.
This is one of those little ideas that makes my friends and family think I’m a little nuts.There are probably many of those.
It makes me happy though, and it’s in the name of making our house feel a little happier too.. We have this rickety screen door leading to our mudroom, that you get to by going up a set of rickety steps on the side of our house.The whole set up isn’t rickety as in, old and charming, more just oldish and in disrepair.And there are spiders.
But that’s for another post..The previous owners had added these little stick-on warning signs all over the door, for a feeling of security, I guess.
I get it, but they’re really really unwelcoming and ugly to look at, and that matters to me.
OK, well I get the dog sign and the alarm system sign, but the soliciting?It’s like I staged it to look like I’d just come in from the garden, and the kids had been outside playing croquet all afternoon, and Kennedy’s rain boots are by the door cause she’s just been out in a stable taking care of the horses..
Except, it’s not staged.That’s just actually what happened..
And I didn’t even realize it was happening.I think the decorator in my subconscious is on to something.A happy little back to school image!.
