The House is Painted!
















Well, here are pictures of the house in it's new exterior color! I was going for something that would go well with our new "rock" walls, and I've always liked the classic pairing of gray tones with reds...so: voila! I hope it looks as good to you as it does to us here "in person". As you can see, I already have my rocking chair out on the front porch! :-)

Wow, reds sure do change in different lighting! I look at these photos and see that some shots look rather bright...like a bright purple! But, in person the color is a richer tone I think. sometimes the red tones take on the BROWN hue and don't even look red at all...and I think that's difficult to imagine from these photos! Luckily, we've gotten great feedback from neighbors and townsfolk...everyone says they really like the colors, so I guess it really looks good from the road across the field. We are happy with it, so that's what matters! :-p


Looking at these photos, I realize that I should have rearranged the back patio before taking the pictures! The BBQ is still out where the painter moved it and the potted peonies are not where they belong, either! LOL AND, with the rains coming, it's about time we pack our bistro table and chairs into the shed for the winter.... We also have some tidying up to do [you can see some things strewn about along the wall in the pic above]...the ladder still needs to be put away, and we still have leftover building materials spread around the property. One day we will be completely done ;-) I just couldn't wait to show you the final color!

New color looks great! Considering a light grey for one of our interior rooms...once (if) we decide to put some actual color on the walls! Not that grey really counts as a color....
