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...
