1. It was a lovely weekend, we kept busy doing random stuff.

2. I painted the mailbox and painted the house numbers on it.

3. We took down the house numbers on the house by the door and the ones that were in the porch gable. Painted the porch gable and installed the ironwork that we bought. I sprayed a sealer on it, only to notice after I installed that the can says indoor use only, dahhhhh I'll have to take it back down and use the exterior sealer I have down in the basement. We also installed a new porch light fixture from Habitat's restore, it is pretty!

4. This week we had the back porch flat roof replaced, the dudes are suppose to come back this week to fix some of the concerns we had about the quality of work done.

5. Looks like the house painting is going to be pushed backed to September instead of the of July. I'm still working on the placement of colors. I've totally changed my game plan with it comes to my color scheme, I decided the red would be a little much considering there aren't many houses with color on the block annnnnnd I hate wearing red clothes. I was concerned I would hate it in a couple of years. So we are going with an olive-ish sage-ish body color, a sandy beige-ish color for the trim and then a brighter green and a navy-ish color for other accents. The swatches have been on the house for a couple of weeks now and the longer they are up, the more in love I become. The palette came from Valspar at Lowe's and it is made from their historic colors line, it should be pretty. We are going to paint the front door orannnnnnnge.
