What should have been completed in just a long weekend actually took two weeks due to all the rain we’ve had recently. I’m talking about having the gables and windows of our house painted.
J hired a young man from a Craig’s List ad to do the handy work and he did a great job. We’ve talked about changing the white gables to a sage green for at least a year now.
And now it’s done! Have a look…
We’re now the best looking house on the block. We debated on whether or not to paint the shutters, but everyone we’ve shown the pictures to said we should leave them alone. The white door, shutters, and gutters make for a nice accent and really give the house a cottage-like feel. So, we will probably leave them alone. The current shutters on the house are plastic, so they’d be very hard to paint anyway. We are going to invest in a new door soon though.
