Final touches before the paint...

I had to finalize my paint colors today. TRAUMA! I am the worst decider ever, but whether I like it or not, I am, in fact, the decider. Sigh. OK, but no matter what, it's going to look beautiful in this dappled light:

Notice that those windows have trim! The house is almost entirely trimmed out in preparation for the painters. Today they came and scraped the windows in preparation of reglazing most of them (big job). They also powerwashed the soffits and fascia. That was, um, exciting. Note the nice new soffit and fascia on the laundry room, not to mention the wide-open doors from the other day when the temperature dropped down to the 80s after a rainstorm. I can't believe my house ever didn't have a deck here:

The windows all have trim. The faux columns on the edges of the front porch and the Ipe porch floor will be done in the next three or four days!! Updates will begin again next Wednesday. Thanks for reading!:

So what are your final color choices? Not knowing you were out of town and seeing your car in front, I stopped by on Thurs. when I was in the area. I found the Kiwis trying out your deck. It looked very inviting and relaxing. I will admit this was between 12 and 1.

When's the party?

Our bathroom is now 100% usable. Should we have a bathroom party?

Hi Conna! The Kiwis love eating lunch on the deck. Who wouldn't? I think they'd really like an afternoon beer there--hence the addition to my grocery list for this week.

The house was painted this weekend. I still haven't seen it, or the deck railings that were installed, or the new front porch! They did all the fun stuff while I was gone. Sniff. Hopefully it is painted the colors we looked at at your party. All shall be revealed after I return...including the party date!!
