This week I was inspired by this sign while in Downtown Lawrence, Kansas.
You see, Daddy was a painter and I can remember him wearing Dutch Boy Paints hats many, many times. And today would be his 77th birthday.
And since I couldn’t get across this street for a ‘Door Close-up’, I’m taking this Thursday Doors a new direction.
I have a small collection of Yellow houses in honor of my dad.
You see, yellow was his favorite color.
I only wish he could walk up to This yellow house and visit.
Happy Birthday Dad!
Lovely heartwarming post. I miss my Dad too – especially around this time of year. But they will always be with us in our hearts and our memories 😀

Such a heartwarming post! I’ve never heard of Dutch Boy Paints (cheers from Finland!) – is it a brand for paint?

Yes it’s a brand of paint bought out by Sherwin Williams in years past. Sign of changing times. Thank you for asking 🙂

I especially like the shot of the house with the porch light on. It’s a handsome house and the light makes it look so warm and welcoming.

Thank you! We were able to see the stained glass in the evening unlike before in the daytime. It really transformed the homes appearance in person.

I think your dad would be proud to know that you created this yellow house collection to remember him by. Simple legacies are the best.
