We've Been Busy! :)

 We've been busy readying the exterior of our home for the upcoming rainy season and Winter. There was new siding and trim work to do, as well as other prep' work, before we could even think about painting! :)

 We've been ready for color changes and went with Pinedale Shores (a sage green) for the main color,

 and Allure, for the door.

 I wanted a red that has warm tones, or I would have gone with a cranberry red! :) The door almost has an orange tone when the sun's shining on it, but is a true red when shaded or when the sky's overcast. :)

 Again, for warmth we chose cream (over white) for trimming the windows and doors! :)

 We also have dark pine trim, (Hazel Woods), that we are hoping to apply to the upper trim, below the roof line, before the year's end. All we need are a few more dry days that are warm enough for paint to dry, and we will have it! :)
The roof line trim is currently blue, and since we have that color of blue in our number tiles from the last time we painted, it makes it work until we can finish painting! :)

I love using the number tiles as inspiration with our colors! I think they've gone well with both our color choices, the white with blue trim, and now the light green with cream and dark green trim! :)
They would work well with a gold paint, too, but we're planning to stay with these colors for awhile!
Just trim and touch up work remains, now, and if the weather permits, we will yet finish before Winter! :) ...
The painting will all start again next Summer, on the garage and outbuildings! :)
While the first few minutes of painting feels creative, and the end result is very satisfying with everything looking so crisp and clean, the endless days in between start and finish begin to all run together! Good thing I have time to forget that detail between now and next Summer when the painting will begin again! :)
