Accents on the Exterior

The accent & trim painting has begun!

The trim has just been started- it will be a light gray.  It's looking pretty funky in the photo above, next to the cream color areas that haven't been painted over yet!

It's also strange how the gray looks almost tan under the shade of the front porch.  It's just a matter of how the light hits it!


The accent color has gotten one coat, however we think it looks too pink.  It almost matches the old color of the front door- which I always thought was too pink as well!   Red is a tricky color to get right!

So accent work has been stopped and the painter picked up some new samples for us to look at.  He was very nice about it and said now is the time to change it!

We were thinking of doing the side basement door the red, but I think it might be better in gray... We'll see.  The painter said he can change that to the new red once we pick it, if we want.

It's amazing how quickly they work!  It would have taken us all summer to accomplish what they have done in one week, so far!

The painter estimates he'll be done with the house & well house early next week.

The garage will depend on when the carpenter finishes up.
