The painting of the exterior of the house has been completed! They took about 2 weeks- we were really lucky with dry weather!
Here are the before & after pictures!

I'm so glad that we went with the brighter red! When I look back at photos of the original red we had selected, it looks much too pink!
I like this angle, and how the old & new sections look blended, now that the painting is complete!
The paint we used was Benjamin Moore.
House colors:
Body-Hale Navy
Trim- Smoke Embers
Accent- Heritage Red
Threshold boards- Platinum Gray

What a tremendous difference a coat of paint has made, I always say paint is like magic and the first thing I turn to for a makeover.
