We no longer live in a green house.

It's blue!

It's been a huge summer for BHH. We actually only painted the street sides of the house. The back, which requires repairs, will be addressed next summer. :dance:

Feel free to read all the details on the blog. However, the main idea is that the majority of people think it is a vast improvement, and there is no longer a thick layer of mildew on the exterior of the house.

Wow - what a remarkable transformation!

The new colors are beautiful and really make your home look warm and inviting.

Nice job, you must feel so proud.

Thanks, everyone!

I feel like I should clarify that we hired painters for this job. There was no way we could have gotten this much done in one summer. However, we were/are in charge of the doors and a lot of the details such as the stairs and risers. We have been plugging away at those all summer. We are still working on the french screen doors and the big front door on the other side of the house.

The green on green was a very particular look, and somewhat unconventional.

The new colors look sharp, classic and highlight the many features of the house. Well done !
