new paint

We bought our little house almost 5 years ago.  We knew that we wanted an old house, something with lots of character and charm.  The second we drove up in front we both just knew that this was our house!  It is an almost 200 year old farm house and needs a lot of love.  Luckily, my awesome husband just happens to be a union finish carpenter.  He is doing most of the work himself, which is both good and bad.  Good, because it will be immaculate and exactly how we want it when it is finished.  Bad, because it takes forever!
When we bought it, it was an awesome shade of eggplant purple with green trim and we loved the color.  What we didn't love was our first winter and the heating bill that went with having a 200 year old house with no insulation.  So, Doug had to take off everything and insulate.  Our house has been multiple colors on the exterior as he sands and replaces all of the boards.  Two sides are finally complete!  We picked out paint and two sides are a beautiful grey!
