Color in the Grey Zone

Here is a better look at the exterior colors.  These will only be on the lap siding of the original "block" of the house.  I love the green ("tarragon").  The garnet is too pink for me, so I am now looking at a darker red called Spanish Tile.  It is grey here half of the year, so the house will have color!  It will be cheerful and fun.


View at front entry.





What about inside?  Here is what got done so far.

Orange Maple up the stairs....yea baby!

Buttered Toffee end walls.


Ceiling and long walls are Navajo white.

Painting all surfaces with drywall primer and then a couple of coats of color is a lot of work.  We were especially lucky to have our friends John and Mary Brown come to help out.  They also brought their Korean exchange student, Jeoung.  She had never painted before and seemed to enjoy herself.  She did get to do the yellow!  Allison and I feel so lucky to have such good friends!  Thank you John and Mary!!!
