House Paint

Lots of emails flying around this week! Security wiring quotes, kitchen cabinet redesign, moving windows.... I guess it was just another week in the life of someone building a home! 

Here is a picture of the peninsula before we made it two feet shorter. We thought it crowded the stairs too much.  The window on the right is also going to be moved over 5 inches to accommodate the overhang of the peninsula. 


And here's the house today- hello paint! 


We love the way the second story looks with the white trim. At the last minute I decided to keep the vertical trim boards at the corners of the house the same color as the base, but I'm thinking that was a mistake. A house that we love up the street has it that way, but with our greenish-gray color we think the white trim really pops. There is still more work to be done on the front view (finish and paint the columns white, trim out the door etc.) We'll see how the front view looks once it is further along, but I suspect I might decide to change it back to the original plan. Ops!
