Summer of Color Waffling




I have been all over the place this summer trying to decide on a color scheme for the exterior of the house. I couldn't schedule the painters to come until last week, so I had months to think about it, bug my friends, bug random passers-by, and perhaps most of all, bug the ever-patient Joseph at Sherwin-Williams.


In the end, I sampled 12 different colors, taking advantage of their Colors-To-Go $5 quarts of paint. As of right this very minute, I am back to where I began, with Roycroft Copper Red for the body, white or cream trim, and Roycroft Bottle Green (very dark) for the highlight color.


Here's a picture of the house mid-prep. The guys have been scraping and sanding all week in really terrible heat.
