It's on and Popping: Exterior Colours of the House

(this view shows a straight shot of the back of the house)

Yep, i think the colours i chose for the exterior are popping:-). I really do love the end result. I chose the colour, Benjamin Moore Mineral Alloy #1622 for the siding. Mineral Alloy is a beautiful blue grey colour. I wanted a colour that would have presence and highlight the lines of the house beautifully. I think this colour delivers.  For the trim, i chose BM Maritime White #963. It complements the siding colour nicely and is light on its contrasting effect.  


It was an overcast day when i took these pictures, so you're not really seeing the richness of the colour, but you can get a great idea nontheless of how it looks from these. So, what do you think? Have a lovely day everyone. XX

I think it's great and that line of trees popping up at the back when looking at the front. They will be very pretty with the house color - when their leaves return.

Hi Stacey! I just found your blog and love it! I am your newest follower. I quickly read that your husband is in the military. Mine is too! My dream is to also build a home but with all the moving around it's hard. I am also sort of new to this military lifestyle. I would appreciate any advice on when you decided to start building. Your new house is awesome! I can't wait to see more of it.

Just found your blog this morning (through the lovely blogger awards that are going around - I have found some great blogs through them!). Love the color you picked for your house - and love the style of your house! I am hoping that you tell us a bit about your house on the blog, because I am very curious about what those two front rooms are - love the windows in them.

Choosing kids bed sheets that are machine washable and states that clearly on the label will ensure that the inevitable spill or accident will not ruin the bedding your kids love. girls bunk bed with slide

When clapboards are dry, eliminate free, chipping paint. A handheld scrubber is generally the most ideal apparatus for the work, however you can likewise utilize a hot-compressed air firearm or infrared paint stripper. Never utilize an open-fire light, which can without much of a stretch light a fire and is unlawful in many states except if you have a grant. To work lead-safe, wear a cover and Tyvek suit, shower water on the paint as you scratch, and gather the trash.

Apply preliminary following getting ready wood siding. White, dim, or colored groundwork gives an even base to topcoats to cling to, and a uniform material from which to review your work. Little holes in joints and around entryways, windows, and different spots where horizontals meet verticals will all hang out in high help, showing where you need to fill in with caulk. In the event that you're covering up exposed wood or existing latex paint, latex groundwork is fine. In any case, in case you're covering up different layers of oil-based paint, it's ideal to stay with another layer of oil-based groundwork.
