We've had a busy weekend. Brian had to work (his real job) on Saturday, and then there was church, and then there was a Patriots game on tv at 4:30...haha!! Needless to say we squeezed in as much painting as we could! Well, the house is well on it's way to being complete BLUE! The front is completely done with 1st coat. 2 sides are *almost* completely done with first coat (a little bit of way high up there cutting in still needed - we ran out of time).

| I did all the cutting in, except the stuff that could only be reached with the tall ladder. I'm too scared to do it:-) Brian cut in up high and then rolled everything with his 18" (time saving!) roller! |
Game plan? Finish up high cutting in. 2nd coat on front, then on 2 sides. Then do the dormers (re-side & paint 2 coats), then do the back side of the house in 2 coats. Then we'll be vinyl wrapping all the wood trim/windows area and painting the windows after that.
Our garage door is old and doesn't work and weighs 1000lbs, so it's being replaced with a plain ol' white garage door we were able to secure for $40, and it will work (raise and lower with ease)!! I think I want white shutters with all the white trim, white garage door and white shed doors...

But then we have 2 front doors (ours and our upstairs renters)...and I want them to have a pop of colour, instead of their current white. I think it will just add to the freshness of the blue and white look, don't you? The problem is, we haven't decided on WHAT colour to pick? We've narrowed down a few faves...
Vote, please?
Yellow door
Red door
Green door
Orange door
I think we're leaning more towards the yellow or the green. Red might be a little typical, and orange might give the impression we are broncos fans:-) What do you think? Another more mono-chromatic choice we've talked about is a grey. Opinions wanted!
Go with the yellow or the green.
ReplyDeleteI posted this link to facebook and based on all the comments there, yellow and green are definitely the front runners (yellow has the most votes)
ReplyDeletei love the red but i think the yellow would be cute too! red definately looks more americana and colonial to me. yellow is just fun!
ReplyDeleteyellow is definitely different and fun. Lots of people have red doors, but yellow is not as common!
ReplyDeleteyellow!
ReplyDeleteI think my vote would be for yellow too! or green as a second choice.
ReplyDeleteI vote yellow too! So cute and classy and unique. :)
