poll: aqua bay or marigold?

If you know me then you know that I am a super indecisive person…not about everything, usually just about things that don’t really matter…like when Ryan asks me where I want to go to dinner..it seems like a really big decision! It’s not that I’m scared I won’t like the place I pick..it’s more like I’m scared I’ll be sad I missed out on going somewhere else!

Or, if I’m at the mall and I find something I like..I usually will put it on hold before I buy it and make myself go look at all the other stores to make sure there’s not something that I like better or would want more..

It’s been the same type of battle with the front door on our new home..Even though I love that our door reminds me of Gryffindor as is..it’s actually more of a weird hot pinkish red color in real life…so i decided it had to go!! I thought I had made up my mind on the color..I even BOUGHT the paint already..but now I’m just not sure if it’s the right color…Bright and colorful front doors are kind of a “thing” in the area of Richmond where I live…There are TWO lime green front doors and a bright PURPLE front door just on our street…and even though I wouldn’t pick one of those colors, I LOVE them..I think they’re so fun and I love the touch of individuality they bring to each house…

Our door is all primed and ready for more paint, so to help me make  up my mind , I’m taking a poll! What color do you think we should paint our front door? Here are the two options: Marigold (the bottom yellow color) OR Aqua Bay (the bottom blue-green color).

Here it is partially primed!

Help me out and vote here! I can’t PROMISE I’ll listen..because who knows, maybe I’ll go with an entirely DIFFERENT color..but at least this will give me some guidance! Let me know any comments or opinions about WHY you like either color in the comment section!!

*let me know if the poll doesn’t work for you! I was having some issues with it earlier…*

Thanks for your help and Happy Monday!!!

    I voted for the aqua bay because I feel like a yellow door is kind of typical AND because I feel like the aqua bay is more you:)

    I agree with Katie there. It just fits who you are along with your colors.

    I think aqua would look nice against the red & tan. I love the yellow too, maybe a bright bathroom or something?

    The aqua bay would flow nicely into the rest of the house colors…it also might bring out/complement some of the grey color in the brick…have fun!!
