A Fresh Look
10 days later (thanks rain!) my house is almost all painted (there’s a few more finishing touches).
Karin and I argued a lot about the color. She wanted a light blue; I wanted a sunny yellow and we compromised with a green. It’s called peacock plume and it changes hues depending on the sun. Every house around here hasn’t been painted in 20+ years, so it really pops.
I love it with the contrasting white.
As a reminder, this is what it looked like before, a putrid, faded orange-pink brown that might have been rose colored at some point.
I had asked them to paint my garage door purple too, but things got mixed up. It’s fine – it looks great in a solid color too. There’s a small area of siding that I’m a little concerned about, but you know what, I’m giving it more protection than what it had before.
Onward to the next project.
