Working the Color

More paint pictures, but a little different this time!

Pre-Superbowl, Bryan & I swung by the house to see the paint progress, and lo & behold, check it out! All of the trim on the outside is done, including the siding and garage door. Doesn't it look awesome? Much better looking than just plain white!

Here are the colors a little closer up:

I think it looks really nice next to the brick.

Having done a complete inspection of the outside paint job, I noticed something a little interesting. Look at the picture on the left, and then look at the picture on the right:



Notice something a little weird? In the picture on the left the stone wraps around the house for 2 feet on the side. In the right picture, the stone doesn't wrap around. Then, if you look at the house straight on, in the entry way the stone wraps around both sides toward the front door. I asked our builder about it, and sure enough it was a mistake. They're going to go back and fix the left side of the house (which is the picture on the right) to make it wrap around 2 feet like the plans say to. Glad we caught it now!

Then we ventured inside to find our entire house painted! It looks wonderful!! They will need to touch up a few spots where the paint didn't quite cover some areas, but it was easy to see how nice everything looked, especially with the white trim on baseboards and below windows, etc.



Too pretty!!

And the final house update as of now:



The fake "window" above the garage is getting all fixed up too. What's interesting is that the area around the window is actually stucco. We didn't realize we had any stucco on our house until our last building meeting. I'm still not sure what's going to go around the rest of the window on the top & sides. But, anyway, there it is!

I hope y'all aren't getting too tired of updates on the house, because today is my first official day of unemployment, and to keep myself occupied, I have a feeling I'll be at the house (and posting) very regularly :) Posts will probably become a little more frequent, but hopefully not too uninteresting! (We'll have to see about that, haha).
