Painting Our House: A Project, Phase I

So we've decided to paint the outside of our house. 

When I say "we" I mean "the people who paint houses".

This is because our current house color reminds me of flesh tones used for Rembrandt paintings and other boring habiliments (because only the word habiliment sounded right to use in context with the word Rembrandt).

Doesn't it reek of pathetic existence?

The painter's called and said they will be coming this week.

Um. We should probably settle on a few house color ideas.

So we went to Sherwin-Williams.

And of course we were able to decide right away.

But Jason is all like "Noooo". The bum.

They will do 2 sample colors for us to choose from

This is where ya'll come in.

We have the colors actually narrowed down, because we know we want to go with the brown family. (sorry polka-dots and graffiti. Maybe I can talk the nursing home down the road into using you, polka dot graffiti makes a great combination).

We are particularly interested in a medium brown with a light trim color:

OR

A light brown with a darker trim color.

There you go. 

I fully expect to be inundated with millions of comments telling us what to do.

In the meantime, I'll be keeping updates here with the progress.
