House Exterior Paint!

When we purchased our house we knew we had to get it repainted and relandscaped within 30 days according to the HOA--30 days!? I know! That is what I thought and why I asked for the money from the seller (Freddie Mac)--and got it--yay! Never hurts to ask, right? It was actually a good thing that they put such a huge request on us immediately or I'm afraid we would've waited too long and the house really needed it after sitting empty for nearly 3 years.

Before: Boring beigey-pinky color, didn't really stand out at all.

After: I went very bold! A grayish brown, sometimes called "Greige" It is pretty dark but I love the contract between the field color and the trim. It really stands out now! I also needed to update the goldy brass exterior lights, door handle and house numbers. I shopped around for lights and everything was too pricey so I realized I could spray paint everything silver, total $3.50! (i'll put it in a future post!) The planters were just green plastic that my mom found on the side of the house, I used the door color to paint them and added pink and orange flowers.

next project, deck?! with the beautiful view it would be nice!
