Doorway to Paradise

Doorway to Paradise
Southwest Florida is Paradise! That’s why the states above us and those abroad flock here every winter.  Yesterday we experienced a high of 83, gorgeous sunny skies, gentle breeze- basically, the perfect beach weather. It’s delightful to bring the happiness God has given us outdoors into the “great indoors”. And in this case, literally “in-doors”.
If you’ve followed my blogs you’ve seen plenty of doors commissioned to be painted. Usually the requests are for faux finishes with wood grain to look like mahogany or a rustic look. But some doors go beyond. Like the one below:

Painted in serene blues and dashes of  cream and off-white this beach mural tempts you for the paradise that beckons beyond the door:

A close-up view shows the details in the mural. It’s painted as if is the beach mural is on bleached out weathered wood planks. The mural paint mimics a time worn wind battered look including paint that has crackled due to baking in the Florida sunshine:





This inside door beach mural fits in perfect for this Florida paradise home. You can see the full home make over in my article titled "Florida by Way of Wisconsin" https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6227045769602344223#editor/target=post;postID=2837256429060076375;onPublishedMenu=publishedposts;onClosedMenu=publishedposts;postNum=81;src=postname 

This beach mural door make-over doesn’t stop on the inside. The exterior side of this front door is painted as a faux wood grain:


The home owner had installed a screen door with a dolphin motif. The faux finish wood grain allows the dolphin motif to pop:
