Painting the House



I've always wanted a red house. It's just taken me 25 years to convince anyone else that it would be a good thing. I finally got my way! I think it looks fabulous. Now to add shutters to the kitchen window and maybe small window boxes on either side of the door. I love the way the plants look against the dark color. I'm excited to re-do the gardens around the house as we had to cut down all the things that were growing up the house and remove trellises in order to paint. It gives me almost a blank canvas.
I think it looks so much more inviting now.
