Paint

We finally decided on what colors to paint the house. It's this strange green color now, and neither of us really like it, but that's the color it was when we bought the house. We need to redo the siding someday too, but that will probably cost an arm, leg, and our first born cat, so we'll wait on that. Besides, if the house is painted gorgeously, (is that a word?) maybe it will distract from the siding! (which is only on the sides and back, anyway.) Then it will be the perfect backdrop for the wonderful garden I'm going to put in. I am determined.


This is the background color. It goes on the front of the house and garage.



This one is the trim color - around the windows, etc.

Of course, I couldn't find an uploadable sample of the other color, but it's Essex Deep Green by Pratt and Lambert, which is a really dark dark green. This one will go on the doors, and eaves. Hopefully the paint chips will be close to the real thing. My husband is going to Alaska this morning - if the weather cooperates he'll come home to a different looking house - might even drive right by, if he's not paying attention!
