Well I have decided that I am not cut out for the life of a house painter! LOL. DH and I painted the outside of the house this weekend, and plan on staining the deck and fences and then painting the inside of the house. I am not looking forward to the future projects, and am sure that I will have had enough of painting by the time we are done.

But, that complaining out of the way. It is very satisfying to look at how great the house looks now, and know that WE did it!! The light isn't good enough tonight for a completed picture - and we still have to paint our door maroon. But here are some before and afters - the paint color we chose is called masking tape - isn't that a great name for paint??


Before - a light yellow


After - masking tape :)
