After 20 years of the house never having been painted, it was time! Come see how we basically spent our summer, cleaning prepping and painting our two story house for a whole house exterior paint makeover.
Good Morning my Beauties! I just realized that I never showed you what the house looked like after the month of painting this summer.
Our house had not been painted in over 20 years. The previous owners had painted it, and that was the last time.
Once all that was done, it was time to start painting. The hubby had started trimming out around on the 2nd story. He was going to be using a sprayer but wanted to not have to be one handed and holding a spray gun up at the highest parts of the peaks on the side. A 30 foot ladder just barely reached.
Then this fun happened..
After the full 2nd week of trimming, me painting shutters, doors, and trim...Hubby finally got to use the sprayer.
Finally; time for the fun part.
I honestly couldn't believe how many compliments we had from all the neighbors. They were stopping me while out in the yard, even at the store. Telling me how much they LOVED the new house color. Some of them even threatened to steal the colors. I told them good luck...I custom made the blue gray myself by mixing some paint samples and then had it color matched.
