Here is our cute but colorless home.
So, we decided it was time to have it painted. Let's just say the process was STRESSFUL!
So, I changed my mind a million times and at the last minute came up with a plan for colors I had never seen. They turned out terrible. The pic. below is my house painted diarrhea green. This pic. doesn't do it justice, it was a greenish, yellowy nightmare!
I was shocked at how wrong the color was. I didn't know what to do since the entire house was painted. The painters left to return the next morning and finish the job. I stressed all day and didn't sleep but a few hours that night. I called the painter at 6 a.m. and told him I couldn't live with the color.
So, yes, they repainted it. My poor husband was pretty upset with me. He just didn't understand why it mattered. No, it didn't cost us double, but it did cost us more. OUCH!
But, I think the final results were worth it (The pic.'s lighting makes it difficult, but it is a true tan with a lighter trim and dark chocolate porch and gables, black door) . It doesn't look like the houses I saw whose colors I wanted, but I think these subtle, warm colors are just right for our cute, little home. Thanks to all my friends who lent an ear and helped me with suggestions. And a big, fat, "I am sorry!" to Robert who (for the most part) was patient, understanding and willing to let me make costly changes I can now live with! I love you........please forgive me?!
