I had my house painted. Look at the before & after!

[Lex]

We didn't choose the before colors--the people we bought it from did.

BEFORE


AFTER


Nevermind the plastic chairs in the yard (the painters put them there).

Plus, I need the shrubs trimmed back, but I waited for after the painters had knocked them around a bit.

1. Looks great!

Did you get a new roof, too? :hi:

[Lex]

5. Yes, unfortunately it needed new paint and a new roof

at roughly the same time. We've been here 9 years.

Good thing we have an equity line!

2. nice! nothing against the previous cooked shrimp and mint combo but the new

colors look very nice.

[Lex]

6. Those old colors seemed more suited to a Victorian style

house, imho.

3. Nice job!

Great house. :7

8. It was built in 1925.

We love it! :)

4. I like the blue--keeps it from being too beigey

[Lex]

7. The tan color we picked was called "latte" on the color card

so we figured it was a liberal color. We laughed that "latte" was our pick when we got down to the final choices.

9. I Like It Lex!

:thumbsup:

looking good!

:hi:

[Lex]

11. Thanks, 'pawkicker!

It was exciting to finally get a color on it that WE picked and not the previous owners. The pink and green combo was soooo . . . 80's?

[SPKrazy]

12. Yeah, a little much

but I like your colors and the roof!

cool!

[SeattleGirl]

10. I love it!

And I love that style of house! Nice job!

[Lex]

13. Cool, thanks.

You can't see it in the pic (or not so much) but we wanted the ceiling of the porch to be painted a light blue sky color which is sort of a tradition on older houses, or so I read somewhere.

[Droopy]

14. Looks good! Looks like you had the roof done as well.

The house looks nice and solid. Pretty place.

[Lex]

15. Yes. Unfortunately both projects came due

about the same time. Grrrr.

[ceile]

16. Looks great!

Nice looking house.
