I have been a salmon swimming up stream all my life, the common thinking has never touched me, and conformism never interested me. Not being like everybody else has not been easy, at times I thought I caused my own challenges. Luckily those thoughts only lasted a few minutes and came to my senses.
I have always lived in original homes with beautiful views and when the architecture wasn’t what I wanted, I created originality with home décor. Here, I present you my new entry door painted in a blue leopard print. I took me one week to paint it but the results gave me a great satisfaction and I feel to have been repaid for all the efforts.
I go in and out that door and feel a huge surprise every time. I can almost hear the screaming of a realtor if one day I will decide to sell this house, rest assured it is not going to happen anytime soon.
To top it all, I marked my territory with my initial on a wrought iron piece. What’s your reaction to the leopard door?

The leopard door is unique and wonderful, Valentina.
Re your realtor remark… I shudder to think of the real estate agents I’ve been cursed to have — they’d want to paint all the glorious things in your house white… Sigh…
Keep being you. Hugs on the wing.

I love it when people make their doors original. I’m not a big fan of leopard print, but I applaud the effort, and I really like the iron piece. The fact that you painted the door is amazing – good job!

My daughter loves it! She is also quite the individualist and swims upstream, too. ð
