Painting the Porch
Since finishing the porch, a number of weeks ago, I have been trying to figure out exactly what colors to paint it. I have maroon, light green and dark green to work with as the overall color choices of the house.
This is how the work looks now. The weird thing is I have grown attached to the primer cream color of the Hardiplank.
While going ice fishing, I saw this house in Farmington, Maine, (http://tinyurl.com/lu8sxhk) and quickly asked Ron to stop so I could take some pictures. I had all the same colors I chose to paint my house with the exception of cream! The color was almost exactly the same as the Hardiplank color.
I just fell in love with the combination, and now have the missing ingredient for my house.
My trip help me solve which colors to paint my porch. Lets get the brushes ready…..
