Wow what a summer it has been! The house is really looking good. Two sides painted, the turret done! So next summer I will do the gables of the house as well as the back and the side in between the two houses. The color I choose was called Georgian Green. I picked the color because it was very close to the original or very early color. I found a chip of paint this color on some of the siding and brought it back to the house. The other accent colors I choose on my own. Looks really good after 5 years of crap!
First a few before shots!
Yes the house was yellow for a time until I found the green paint chip.
Yes I realize the finial is not straight. Anyone want to offer their cherry picker for an hour? :)
One other interesting photo. I wants to show the detail on the chimney that was the old cook stove chimney. So detailed. One day I would love to have it rebuilt as it should look. Look at those beautiful rounded corners and the amazing detail bricks!
