A face lift

We started noticing a while back that our house was in desperate need of a paint job. The darkest color on our house was looking like our medium color. I was not happy with how much the color had faded over the years. We had a friend of my brother come out and give us a bid. Then the hunt for colors began.

Here is our house before the paint job began.and here are the color swatches of our final choiceAnd here it is on the houseCan you say YUCK!!! I almost started crying when I saw it. Our dear painter saw the panic in my face. I told him to stop and to tell me how much it would cost me to change the colors. The whole crew was wonderful. Of course they teased me, but they said I wasn't the only one who went through this. It looks like baby poop is smeared on my garage doors!Here are my new color choices. Believe it or not, those were actually my first choices but I thought they were too close to my original color. Thanks Diana for being my hand model!but I LOVE IT!!! THey are just perfect (either that, or I knew if I changed it my family would think I was really crazy) But really, I am so happy with my colors. If I built a new house right now I would pick these same colors againI LOVE LOVE LOVE my door!We added this stripe around the bottom of the pilars, I wasn't too sure about it, but Mike really liked it so I went with it. Now I am happy I followed my oh so trusty hubby. I really like the stripe.And here is our painting crew. They were so awesome. Very clean and very efficient. Our house was finished in less than a week from start to finish, even with the paint change! The company name is New Life Painting, James is the owner. Their phone number is 208-703-8795. Oh, and they were INCREDIBLY reasonable in the cost!
