The last time we had our house painted was thirteen years ago, and that was just the front because of a special occasion. The rest of it had been peeling away for decades! We are so very pleased. We hired two young guys and they were done in a couple weeks.
Back side of the house, before - it had been scraped at this point
and after
We went with a darker gray, painted the porch ceiling which was just wood before, and decided to change our
Tomie dePaola doors for a red that we love.
Ah, this all looks so great! Like the new door color, too. Very welcoming feeling and good energy.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I do love the red with the gray.
DeleteWow, what a transformation. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThank you! We are so pleased.
DeleteI love the colors - great choice. Also, photos of your home are bringing to mind lovely memories of a vacation I took to Massachusetts in early September, and a lot of the homes there I loved to look at.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I suppose the architecture of Massachusetts and here are much the same, at least in the old houses. Part of ours was built in the 1860s, and then twenty years later the rest of it was added.
DeleteOh my gosh! It's beautiful. Are those prayer flags from Nepal?

DeleteYour painters did a good job, as did you in selecting your colors.
ReplyDeleteThey really did such a good job! And I do love the colors.
DeleteEvery time you showed us pictures of your house before, I thought what a beautiful place it is, and how it looks like so much more than just a house - a true home. Now it looks even more beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSuch kind words. Thank you.
DeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love it!! The colors are perfect, especially the doors. Oh, how I can't wait to come visit. Now that we're retired and traveling, I hope we can get out your way in the next few years!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! It would be great if you could. I doubt we'll ever make it out there, though I would like to meet your mum.
DeleteBeautiful, Nan, and wonderful colours.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a big job: we have the barn to do in the spring. I'm very tempted to do just two sides of it because the other two face "woodland" that meets the barn and no one EVER approaches from (or for that matter, even goes around) those sides.
Good to hear from you! We never painted our barn. :<)) I would def just paint the two sides!!
DeleteThe red doors are perfect with that beautiful shade of gray! Wonderful home!
ReplyDeleteLove it big time!! Your home is very inviting!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to hear from you!! Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteLove the way your house looks now. Is it an 1800's farm house? looks so charming.
ReplyDeletePart of it is the 80s, and part maybe 20 years earlier. Thanks so much.
