With A Stroke Of A Brush

The old colors were grey with dark green trim.

I've blogged before about my yard projects and all the work involved in owning a home built in 1925. Recently we hired painters to paint the house and garage.
I struggled for almost a year as to what color to paint the house. My husband and I knew we wanted a red door and I was firmly set on the white trim. One afternoon while raking in the backyard, I came across an old terra cotta tile. I loved how the creamy greenish color looked with the red. Thanks to so many options of paint color these days, it was easy to find one to match the tile- Thermal Spring.
We hired Corliss Painting from Port Orchard to do the work. Darren came out and we did a walk around to assess what work would be necessary. The side of the house that gets the sun the majority of the day was down to bare wood in some places and missing siding in others. It took two crew members, Pat and Steven, two days to pressure wash the house and garage and to scrap and prep the old house. Job site Foreman, Mike, showed up with a couple more guys the first day of painting and did a wonderful job of repairing the old siding. Trying to match up old pieces with new isn't an easy task! The repairs really made a difference! I was so happy to see all the old tar paper and bare wood covered with siding! Two and a half days of painting later the masterpiece was finished! The outcome is amazing and I wanted to share some before and after photos.

I absolutely love the bright new color of our house! 

Our garage roof was covered with moss
and needed major love!

Love indeed! Pressure washing was just what this
old structure needed before the transforming paint job!
