New Exterior Paint Color!






Well, here it is ... the new updated version of the outside of our house!

The trim around our house has desperately needed painting for a couple of years now ...
and we finally got around to doing it!
Well, we hired out, actually.
(I breathed a sigh of relief!)
(The thoughts of James high up on a ladder was a bit disconcerting to say the least!)
(Best trust those kinds of risky endeavors to the professionals, right?!)



The original color was this yellowish tan.
We decided to strike out there & go with a bold change in color.
Huge risk, huge return was definitely the case here!

I drove around our neighborhood & several other new developments close by but didn't see a single house
with the color I had in mind, but I still felt confident in going this route.
James was in complete agreement.

We'd been so busy that the day the painter was to arrive, we still hadn't settled on a color.
Hadn't even gone to pick out a swatch!
So, I pulled up paint colors on my phone & we went out back & starting holding up colors 
next to the siding to see how they matched.
We're so high tech here, aren't we?!
We made our decision, Cooper Adobe Brown, & sent it over to the painter 
so he could stop & buy the paint!




In no time flat, we had some new color going up!
Here is the first look ... a pretty good before & after pic!



And here it all all finished!
We are super pleased with it!





 What a fun update, huh?!
It was nice to mark this off the to-do list before the end of the year.
Course, all the fall decor has been replaced with a Christmas wreath & lights now.
Believe it or not though, the weather has been so mild here in central IN that we still have some flowers blooming!
Quite a change from the last couple of years.
There's not a single complaint from me though.
I'm loving the lack of snow!


 Thanks for stopping in for a visit & hope that you all are enjoying this holiday season!
