New Colors

I recently did some barter work for a landscape plan for the front of our house. We also had a plan to paint the house at some point but we moved that up to the front because we didn't want to do the landscaping work and then come back and trample all that work. Our friends Brooke and Ian live downstairs from their landlord who recently had their house painted by Martin Klein Professional Painting. A recommendation was good enough for us so we had him come do our house.

A friend of ours had lent us book, Bungalow Colors Exteriors, that went over classic color combinations for houses of the era. Not only we did determine what kind of house ours is, a Foursquare, but we got very good ideas about how to accentuate some of the detailing. We're very happy with the end result.

Now it's time for the landscaping. You can see the bush I removed towards the rear left and the holly that I'm slowly removing to prepare for the new layout. I'll post photos when we finish with that.
