The inside of the front door~

It's been one of those days.  The kind where you don't change out of your pajamas until 4 p.m. Since it's only 3:10, you can guess that I'm still sitting here in my pajamas trying to be optimistic about changing in a few minutes.   Mondays will do that to me because I try to clean for a good part of the morning to make up for the havoc that Sunday has reeked on our home.

It actually felt really good to clean today.  I focused on our bedroom and bathroom and even washed the comforter set, which for me is a huge accomplishment. Seriously. Even though I had a lot of cleaning, I was really happy all morning.  A cleaning/pajama day always puts me in the mood for a project, so I decided to paint the inside of the front door.




Deanne gave me some scraps of material that she got from our friend Shelley who is a slipcover wizard. 
I used the scraps to make little decorative curtains for the windows.  Since the door is metal I slipped a couple of magnets into the fabric to hang them up.  


I even had enough left over to make a matching throw for the entry bench.



I hope you are having a great Monday! I think I'll finally jump in the shower!

    You sound like me. I usually stay in my p.j.s for a good bit, but probably not that late. I cleaned a lot today, too and have seriously thought about painting the inside of my door, too. Yours looks great and love the fabric.

    Love the green door. I am always nervous about painting my doors. Mine are still plain ole white. Thanks for the inspiration today.

    The door turned out great and the fabric is so pretty! I found I get more done with cleaning if I dress all the way to my tennis shoes. Keeps my back from hurting and my body from getting tired. I like to stay in my pj's while I am blogging, though!!
