But, alas, I have to be true to myself and I'm seriously considering a pale minty blue front door.<br /><br /> I found <a href="http://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/color/89561_Valspar-7005-2-Stillness">Valspar's Stillness</a> which is a creamy minty pale blue and it's heavenly! I painted a giant foam board so when the time comes I can hold it up to the house rather than testing colors on the door.  I fell asleep last night dreaming of my minty pale blue front door flanked by blue and white pots filled with hydrangeas - I don't know if I can wait 4 months for this house! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Anyway, now that I've chatted your ear off, enjoy some of these links: </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Valspar's Stillness on the walls of <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/11047961556379673/">this bedroom</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://www.vampyvarnish.com/2012/01/china-glaze-electropop-collection-spring-2012-swatches-review/china-glaze-kinetic-candy-jpg/">Minty Blue Nail Polish</a><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Good News: </i></div><div style="text-align: center;">Y'all found some blue and white planters (<a href="http://www.niermannweeks.com/accessories/">here</a> and <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/11047961556381020/">here</a>) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Bad News: </i></div><div style="text-align: center;">They're between $1000 and $4000 so that's kind of not in my budget yo </div><div style="text-align: center;">(I know I'm so poor)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Meh News:</i> </div><div style="text-align: center;">I found some for cheaper, but they're not as pretty (<a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Oriental-Furniture-Flower-Pot-with-Blue-Landscape-Design-in-White/16497952?findingMethod=rr">here</a> and <a href="http://www.orientalfurniture.com/oriental-furniture/BW-20FISH-BWLS.html?Category_Code=vases-jars-planters">here</a>) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Buuut I kinda don't hate the Walmart ones and they may end up in front of my creamy pale minty blue front door) </span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br /><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/11047961556383277/">Minty Blue Wedding Inspiration</a><br /><br />I probs need <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/clothes-dresses/24872095.jsp#">this mint dress</a> <br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br /><a href="http://www.peoplepets.com/people/pets/article/0,,20599385,00.html?xid=rss-topheadlines">Baby Elephant Playing Soccer</a><br /><br />I love <a href="http://prostores4.megawebservers.com/letaaustinfosterboutique_com/-strse-linens/searchpath/7006992/start/1/total/34/Categories.bok">embroidered linens</a> <br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Budget Tip: you can almost always find Sferra embroidered sheet sets at Tuesday Morning for a steal </span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />Lots of <a href="http://pinterest.com/jhadley32/christmas-house/">minty blue door inspiration</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
