Views of the Neighborhood – Watch Paint Dry
Here is the front door. it is a neutral color that neither adds or detracts from the front view. I have applied masking tape to the glass. Some would rather scrape after the fact but I like to keep scraping to a minimum. I take the knobs off the doors. Some like to mask them […]
