You know what I’ve noticed? There are a lot of creative people out there. And a lot of them are named Lindsey. See what I mean? If you want a creative kid, you should maybe name it Lindsey. Then again, my name is Lindsey, so yeah… don’t know if that theory is holding water…
Lindsey from My Creative Attempts recently redid her entry way, and I think it’s muy fabuloso! Here’s what I like about it, list-style:
1. Red done right. A lot of people do red, and frankly, it’s not my favorite. Usually, it just looks so random, like “Hey, you know what I’m going to do? Paint one wall in my house red, why the heck not?” But here it looks very classic with the black accents and the crown moulding. Lovely, darling.
2. I like that she took off that trim and camouflaged the heater rather than oddly enhancing it, like it was before.
3. I like the boat! *whispers* “Ah want that.” (quick, name that movie)
4. I also like that dark floor, a welcome change from that white tile.
Thanks Lindsey!
