beyond the gallons of grey


Behold! Our blessed beast, the new home that our little family has been breathing new life into over the past year and some change, has been given a new face! After a few minor setbacks, including but not limited to being bamboozled by a dude who was supposed to repair some aluminum siding for us, we have given a fresh coat of paint to every last inch of dirty, white, badly painted/stenciled siding.

After much deliberation over the color that would adorn our home, MJ and i settled on Sherwin-Williams' Summit Gray. Early on, Baby Jane was very vocal about painting the house pink, a suggestion that i was not entirely opposed to for fairly obvious Dylan/The Band-related reasons. However, the pink suggestion was not going to garner a unanimous vote. When all was said and done, we decided on a color inspired by a lesser-known music icon.

After researching and purchasing a paint-sprayer, we spent the better part of a week cleaning and painting the exterior walls of our house.


Here's your's truly getting awfully friendly with a ladder and some power lines. Look at that sad, unsuspecting stencil below the second-floor window.

Now, let's take a counter-clockwise tour around the house and view the rest of the freshness...
