Chronicle about painting a house

This spring we got a quote for painting the house. It was a good price but Gary has a little fix up work to do before we get it done and we need to pick a color.
Color choice one, color matched to a piece of scrapping paper we liked....

Was met with; "oh yuck", "oooh", "really?" so we both ended up deciding it was just a little...too out there...

Color choice two: was just too boring, predictable a color. Not exciting enough for me...

Color choice three: Amy and I mixed the first two colors and some white and came up with this color which Gary and I both agree on. A bit unpredictable but not too wacky. We have lived with this color painted on our back porch for a few weeks now.

And then when we were out on Sunday with Amy she said; "what about yellow for your house?"

So maybe we are still trying to figure out a color?! We haven't talked much about it to tell you the truth. We did drive around and look at yellow houses with shingles...lots of variations of yellow out there!! And then...what color do we paint the doors???....

On my way home yesterday I noticed a really cutely painted house in my neighborhood that I hadn't seen before. You should check it out & see if you like their color (green). It's the last cul de sac on the right on our street, shortly before you reach our house. They have the cedar shakes on the peak over their garage or door like I want to do too.

thanks for stopping by...
