We finally have a paint color

and I don't even remember it's name! 

 I really doesn't matter. 

Would you like to know why? 

It's because it's not peeling from the house. :)

Many of our friends and family know that we have been working hard on the inside of this house for two years. Many a day, I dreamed of the outside matching the inside. And for what seemed like a running joke, it finally was painted last week!

Here is the before:

Our three colored house... Sage green, primer white, and peeling paint... nice choice, don't ya think?Let's look at that siding a bit closer.

Ewwwwww.

Ryan finished building the front porch a couple of weeks ago. He's oh so talented.

Note, the garage in the background... see the white spot? That's where we took down an old basketball goal, only to find someone painted AROUND it when they decided to go green (literally). 

And here's our house after THE BIG SCRAPE & PAINT! We hired J. Stevens Paint Company. Great job and great price, and super nice people.

Can you see the garage in the background? No white basketball goal outline! :D

I just love how the front porch turned out. Add a few ferns, the AU place mat, and we're set. :)

The finished deck:

Next on the to do list...

the 2nd bathroom and landscaping.

Almost to the finish line!
