who's there? buster. buster who? buster had a cupcake on his head and he smashed it all up.

ok. sorry, i couldn't resist. my son is three and i hear this same joke at least five times a day. every single time he tells it, he thinks it is hilarious. so i just had to share. funny, no?

i posted this picture of my front door to show you what i have done. the door was painted gray when we moved here. but, my house is a farmhouse style and in keeping with farmhouse tradition, i want it to be a knotty pine wooden door. so, i have attempted to make my aluminum door look like wood. i had the house painters paint it brown, then i stained it with walnut polyeurethane. i added a restoration hardware knocker and after all of my hard work...voila...i still hate it. so, now i can't decide what to do, go back to gray? my house is white with gray shutters. i've thought black, white, maybe even a berry color, but you know how i don't like too much "pop." i'm just stumped.
