First Impressions

We are trying to decide whether it is a good idea to paint our front door (and if we will be able to do it without messing it up). I would love to have a bright welcoming door that would be a pop of colour on our beige home. Our colour choices are a bit limited to compliment our blue shutters (that I would also like to someday paint dark).
I am leaning towards a purple door, while the hubster likes the yellow door. Which option do you think works better? What colour is your front door or what colour would you like to paint it?

For the Birds

These adorable little bird houses are so funny and original! Made by artists Luke Bartels and Jeff Canham, "For the Birds" can be found here. I would like a whole village of these cute birdy establishments.
