Oh my!!! It's a bit bright!

Well, the painters left us today!  They were a great crew and so patient with our dogs who couldn't decide if they were friend or foe.  They did a great job - it was pretty amazing to watch them work.  They were precise and could paint with either hand when it came to trim.

Now the colors, well the red has toned down a bit since it was first applied.  It actually comes out of the can magenta!  Then it gradually darkens to a deep red.  Not as deep as I would like perhaps, but.......

And it's starting to get dark earlier!  Argh.  We're going to have to start using those lights more!!!!!  So much for the incredibly low power bills..........

This picture doesn't do it justice, but the paint comes out of the can pink!
Well, dark magenta!  Kind of a shock until it dries and darkens more with age!

All the green is on - now for the trim.  I almost changed my mind at this point
and went for black or brown/purple.  Bill said, "Nah!"

And so the red trim begins..........  Looked a bit like bright red lipstick
at this stage. (The photos dulls the colors some.)

And there you have it!  The front door needs work, but we are planning on
replacing it when we build a roof over the entry next spring, so for now I
think we'll just paint it red.  

Our dinner table looks like a library table with our library light and books
on it!  Why not, we always read when it is just the two of us eating!
