So we spent a lot of time looking at colors, because there are so many. It's insane. I mean, go to any paint store and ROYGBIV is meaningless. Nobody has "green". Nooooo. There are 500 shades of green. Anyway, we pondered and hemmed and hawed, and I brought home samples, and we made a decision we're happy with. A deeper blue, and deeper green for the doors and the little triangles up in the eaves. I love it. And we spent all that time thinking about it only to be told...
... we painted a Seahawks house.
Why yes, apparently we did.
And if we'd only thought of it that way, it probably would've simplified the whole process ;D
After painting the actual house, Kerry gave me gift money to have the house painted by a friend of mine. I know, have the house painted? We just DID! But my Ben Mann painting is a dream come true :D I want to link to his website, but it seems to be down. He's on fb though, here.
Isn't that a great addition to the living room?! Look closer :D
I asked him to paint the house the "old" colors - it's really capturing a moment in time when the boys were younger... playing soccer, watching a robin... and Kerry is mowing, and I'm hanging quilts on the line :D
Every time I look at that painting it makes me happy!
Oh my goodness Julie! That is so cool... both the color and the painting! It's also great to see you back in blog land. I understand how life is seasons. I'm totally empty nest now. Grandma has moved into an assisted living facility. I can't believe how fast time goes when we look at our kids. Yours amaze me how much they have changed since I started following you several years back.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you around more often! Hugs my West Coast friend! :)
Crazy how fast they grow, isn't it! How's your son doing in the military?
