Painting the house – by numbers

So, the ongoing saga of home ownership continues…. Last year we painted the house to remove all the chocolate brown.

Our house – Circa 2013

As you can see, there was a TON of BROWN. I hate brown. It is such a boring colour.

This is the result of 4 days work last year. We managed to get rid of all the brown. That left the beige. Another colour, I ain’t so fond of.

So, three weeks ago, we redid our deck, which you saw the results of in a previous posting.

Two weeks ago, we went back to Home Depot and found the colour to replace the beige. This past weekend, I had three days off (Thank you BC Day Long Weekend!) and so we tackled the rest of the house. And while it took only one and a half days, the end result is amazing!

Our house – DONE!!!!

The effort that it took to get this done was worth every brush stroke, every blister, the sunburns, the exhaustion.
