So. Sometime in the fall of 2010, I wrote in this blot that I was thinking about--yea, even PLANNING to-- making the trim a soft gray blue instead of the white that was in such sharp contrast with the wood siding.
With my frequently lightning-like speed when it comes to things like this, I thought about it. And thought about it. And TALKED about it. And meant to get AT it. When our friend Don Dickerson was here painting the trim next door, I thought okay, this is IT. Finally bought the paint.
Then Don got a different job in CT, so there he is, and there I was, and it was a perfect, glorious fall day and I felt pretty decent. J's working next door, and here I was...
THE TIME IS NOW!
Simple little window first...yep, yep, I like it...
So then I got more stuff together and started the door...J. did the very top rail for me when he stopped over for a conjugal visit... but you can see the little green stool I used for a stepladder for the rest of the taller stuff. I am SO short...
Oh yeah. I like it. A LOT. It could have been a shade darker, but you know what? Talk to me again in another three years!
Nice, yes? Not such a contrast. Softer...
And yeah, I wore out before getting to the multi-paned back window. Manana. Or next week. Or when Don gets back...but NOT three years from now!
Always nice to see an update on the evolution of the little place.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Paul--the paint was pretty badly chipped on the door, so we scraped, primed, and decided now was the time to make that switch!
