Hello everyone and welcome to another addition of "Welcome to NEWBIE Wednesday"! After a week hiatus for Spring Break, I'm excited to get back to this weekly feature!
Each Wednesday, I will introduce you to some NEW, or as I like to call us, NEWBIE, bloggers who are fun, creative and just plain COOL!
This week I would like you to meet Micah and her blog The Yellow Front Door!
Micah and her husband Casey are living what she likes to call "the exciting suburban life" in Kansas City with their two dogs. They moved from a brand new duplex to a 70-year-old house in July 2008. Micah started blogging to keep her out-of-town family and friends updated on projects they were doing around the house, since that seems to be how they spend most of their free time.
She really didn't think anyone would be reading her blog except for her mom and sister. Although Micah has a burst of creativity every now and then, she's not ashamed to admit that she "borrows" decorating ideas from other people all the time! Micah describes her decorating style as "beachy classic/casual" - anything that reminds her of Hawaii is welcome in her home.
Check out the beautiful beachy tablescape on her coffee table!

And after...
She thinks paint is the most powerful decorating tool, whether you use it on your walls, furniture, or accessories.
Here's the power of paint, Micah-style!

And the easy, breezy after...
And check out how painting chairs & adding some fresh accessories transformed her dining room!

And after...
Check out the headboard she made for her master bedroom.

And the "ooo la la" after...
Living room transformation!

And the beautifully updated after...
I love that she painted the brass on her fireplace WHITE! Easy to do and WOW, what a difference!
So go check out The Yellow Front Door and say hi to Micah!
I can't wait to see what she shows us next!

Beautiful - I am especially lovin' that dresser redo. great color!
Great pick! I love her makeovers - can't wait to go check out her blog!
Wow - thanks so much for pointing us toward The Yellow Front Door! What a great site. I really like what she's done with changing some of the matchy matchy furniture! I might just have to try it! (I have a matching bedroom set that I bought several years ago that I hate).
I heart Micah's blog!
Love it - I'm heading over now to visit :)
Kendall - thank you soooo much for the feature!! :)
The Woodlawn Charm shade of paint she used is one of my favorite colors. It's such a soothing shade to look at and yet wonderfully invigorating at that same time! ~Lili
Fabulous! Micah is one of my very favorites. Her style is so natural and yet glam. She always impresses the heck out of me!
Would it be too weird for me to submit a nomination for next week? I don't know if you already follow her, but you should check out The Brick Cottage! Her house is adorable and her recent posts 'Going Neutral in the Dining Room' and 'Hang Up Your Hat and Stay Awhile' are fabulous! Not to mention, she and her husband are about to be on TV!
