Zeus

We decided (the day after I finished painting the garage last summer) that we didn't like the exterior house color anymore. It was too fleshy. We had a beautiful weekend for weather this spring and spontaneously decided it was time to paint the outside of the house. It was the perfect time since it wasn't too hot and Michael wasn't crazy busy with work yet. So, just like any project we do, we worked well past dark trying to finish ASAP! Our neighbors have to think we are crazy...
We spent Friday night putting different color swatches on the house and garage so we could get paint first thing Saturday morning. One trip to Sherwin Williams, two trips to Wal Mart, 1 date night, and 12 hours later we had a color. The color is called "Zeus," and we love how it is not gray, not green, not blue, not brown, but just the right color. The trim is painted a version of white that I can't remember the name of! Here are some pics of Michael hanging over the roof of the house in the dark (we were VERY determine to finish!), and the house from the lake once it was done.
