I'm finally getting the house repainted. It's time for that horrible Band-Aid brown and toothpaste green to go away. And like any project with an old house, you are constantly opening another can of worms. I'm having rotted clapboards replaced, a new window to replace the ugly "porthole" (an octagonal eyesore soon to be a cold frame), and maybe some new front steps. Even the chimney is getting a face lift-peeling paint removed and a new coating. This rainy weather is slowing down the painting, but it will look so nice when it's done! The house will be a blue-grey (Lexington Blue), with white trim, and a claret door. Stay tuned!
