Hmm, maybe a soft gray/brown tone? I’d bring home swatches and hold them there and see what you like. Good luck!

Spring to dos? Painting the boring contractor tan out of our new house. Fall was soooooo depressing with the poor lighting and drab walls. I need me some COLOR and some full spectrum lighting before fall rolls around again!!!! We’ve also been doing some landscaping and getting in a food and flower gardens. Adding hostas and azaleas under the pines, creating flower beds where there are none, adding lily of the valley by the front steps so that there’s a delightful smell in years to come as we and guests come and go!

The column job looks fantastic and such a small thing to make such a drastic change. The ol’ gal has had a beautifully done facelift! Huzza! And besides John got to bring out his nailgun. A winner all round.

We’ve had quite the delayed spring this year! We just shot these pictures last week and over the weekend. But things are already looking quite different already. Thanks goodness!

Looks fantastic! Great job!

(And how is it that trees in the south are less leafy than the Pacific Northwest? Eh? Was there a delay from project to posting?)
