Yes!!! This GIVEAWAY is being sponsored by
Hometalk and is for a $50 Gift Card
to Lowe’s Companies!
I think we could ALL use some home improvement spending money!
I was lucky to win a gift card from
Our next home improvement project is to paint our front door!
I had to search for these ‘old’ photos so look past the Christmas decorations! And notice the plain….dull….boring…white door!

Oh I'll get the ball rolling. I do love Lowe's! Having recently painted two main doors, as you know, I understand the challenge of getting the right color. I agonized and finally made my readers do it and then when I arrived with their choice found out it wasn't a true representation. So nothing beats going to the store itself with a paint splotch of your house color and matching up something terrific. Have fun!
Great giveaway Diane! Thanks for hosting. I am already a loyal follower!!

for your paint color...how about a sweet sunny light yellow

For your front door...how about a deeper shade of purple??? It would look pretty with your lavender house :)
I do love Lowe's! I could always use an extra $50 to spend there! We just painted our front door, too. It is a nice aqua :D
Have a great day...and thanks for the giveaway!

Great giveaway, Diane! I am a happy follower and I think you should paint your front door........purple :). xo
I'm already a follower. :)
Not sure what color you'll paint your door. A former neighbor had the entire inside of her house in various shades of purple because that was her favorite color. The only exception was her kitchen, which was NEON yellow that was so bright you could see the color from the street even though the kitchen was in the back of the house.
My advice is to paint the door any color but NEON yellow, and you'll be in good shape. However, I think a sage green to go along with the pastel trend would be a nice contrast to the purple.

OK...I don't usually win these things, but what the heck. :) I'm a follower!
Door paint? I'd try yellow!!
Sunshine yellow that is!!
You know I said navy would be a good color on my chart! But I know you love another color and someone has already guessed it! LOL Thanks for the plug! I love give-aways! Don't think they'd let me win again.... But hey.... let's try! ha ha
Oh wow, Diane, what a FABULOUS giveaway!!! Thank you so much for the opportunity to win...Your home is gorgeous!! You want to change the color? It fits your Lavender Dreams so perfectly!!! XO

I have put the button up on my blog sidebar. Thanks Diane:-) Anxious to see what color you paint that door.
Carol
Hi Diane,
I would love to be included in your giveaway. We're right in the middleof painting so a Lowe's card would be super nice!
I love the lavender color of your house and I'd paint it lavender again BUT maybe you're thinking of a change, so my second guess is yellow!
Well who could NOT find a way to spend 50.00 at Lowes???? Thanks so much for this great giveaway! I'm already a follower and since I have a purple and green bathroom, I'd say paint the door green. Yellow would be fun too!
Adding your giveaway to my blog!
I am a follower. Love reading your blog girl!
I am already a member of Hometalk. Have not participated yet. Need to do that!
I entered Hometalks give away. Wow, wouldn't that be great to win!
Putting button on my blog. I have an idea for your door color. The one I am thinking of starts with a B. Maybe you are much more daring. Can't wait to find out!
Count me in! Painting our front doors is on the list of things to do.
I'm already a happy follower:-)
I would be thinking a darker shade of lavender...
Best of luck to everyone.

I would love to be included in your giveaway, I am now a current follower.
As far as your front door to your beautiful home goes....I think cream would be lovely. It would add a subtle hint of color to the door so that the eye can still focus on the beautiful lavender color :)
Woo Hoo..now I would truly love to win this...we need 2 more storm windows to complete our olden house and this money would go a long way for us.
I AM A FOLLOWER..a HAPPY FOLLOWER.
XOXO bj
Now I'm not really sure what color that door should be. I really like black doors and trims on a lot of houses, but I think it might make your entry way a lot darker. However, you have all of that Florida sunshine to brighten it up! LOL
Following Hometalk on FB. Looks interesting!
I went to HOMETALK...
oh, and I think the door should be green..love green and lavender together. :))
I joined HOMETALK..woo hooness
Thanks so much for the chance to win this fabulous prize...:)

I'm a happy follower of your blog...Lowes and the orange store that shall remain nameless are my toy stores! Love to shop and love to DIY! Thanks for the chance to win! I love how the houses in Florida and some other warm places are pretty colors. I think the door could be ... a nice yellow. Not neon, but not too washed out, either!
I joined Hometalk! Thanks for the chance to win!
Ooooh, please put my name in the drawing...Love Lowes and I would love a chance to win a gift card...Keeping my fingers crossed :-) Oh, and by the way, I'm a happy follower.
Hugs and Kisses,

...hope to win!
already a follower... and Hmmm.. the color.. I'mthinking a robins egg blue or a very soft orange. But that's a bit radical. Whatever color you choose, I would extend it out with some accents.. planters on the porch with the same hue, etc. maybe bottom trim on windows...
Hey there! Thank you for this wonderful giveaway. I'm a follower. I think I would paint the door gray. I can't believe how big that cotton bale is!
Following via GFC... I love the lavender! :)
