and the paint goes on...

Okay so if you picked a paint color from the swatches in the last post  ... you were wrong.

In the end we decided to go with a completely different color.  It's called Anew Gray.

After it was painted we went up to see it.  Mike loved it but I didn't. To be exact...I freaked out!  I thought we'd made a huge mistake!  I thought it was green and gray and too much like a navy ship with split pea soup mixed in!

It was a tough few days as we discussed the options of getting a new color.  Agh!   We went back to the house..with friends in tow...all LOVED the color!  And I had to admit it looked better.  Maybe the light was better, maybe the paint had dried...soooo

After a round of "I hate it",
                                                       "I don't love it",
                   
                 "I suppose I could live with it"...
                                                                                 to

                                          "okay we'll keep it"...

the paint color stays!

And as the paint goes on...and on...the siding is going up!
