A Fresh New Look

As I said in a previous post we had the exterior of our house painted. In 2 days it was all done and the guys did a great job. Above is the patio and below is the front door. We kept the door the same color that Jim painted it not long ago. I like the door having contrast with the rest of the house.

Below you see the darker color on the window trim. Most people just do the accent color on the front of their house. It costs more but we put the darker trim color on all the windows and I am glad we did.

On this last picture you can see the difference between the old tired color and the new lighter fresher look. I am so glad we made this change. As picky as our HOA can be we would have been told to paint is soon anyway, so we are ahead of the game.

Next, we are changing the tub and surround in the upstairs bathroom.

Back with more again soon. 

Take care and stay cozy! 

A Fresh Look at Home

We are painting our house. Well not we but we will have guys painting the house and the process starts today with a power wash. We are doing a couple tones of greige. The main body will be Stone Lion and the accent colors on the window trims and shades for the outdoor lights will be in Tiki Hut.  It will take a couple days. 

The blazing sun and the heat can fade the paint on a house over time and ours was looking rather beaten up. The company painting our house gives a 10 year guarantee. I hope that means a quality job. He also lives in our neighborhood so it would be a good idea to do your best work where you live, right? I am sure I will like the colors we have chosen, and I hope this all goes well and Jim is happy with it too. 

I'll do some pictures of the fresh new look in a couple days. The picture below is from several years ago. You can see in it that the house is all the same color. It just blends into the dirt with nothing special to make it stand out. I am really looking forward to this.

Back with more again soon. 

Take care and stay cozy!
