Day 3

Day 3: Uh oh. Well, we had a minor set back on day 3. Brooke texted me a photo of the front of the house painted as I was on the way home from work. I almost wrecked the car. It truly doesn't look as bad in these photos below, but the house was YELLOW (think Boone color!). While the Greenbriar Beige is a lovely color, it's just not what we wanted. This was completely our fault as we'd picked the color. But, it was very disappointing to see it up and know we were going to have to shell out more money to have it repainted. Fortunately, they had only done the front and were kind enough to just charge us a day of labor. Still, it hurt, but it could have been much worse. Brooke and I drove down to Lowe's and Home Depot on Tuesday night with a shingle tile and the Greenbriar Beige swatch. Somewhere in between was what we were hoping for. Fortunately, we found a nice Stone Manor color that I think we'll be happy with!

The mistake: too yellow! Notice the new swatch to the right of the door (Stone Manor). We also tried out another color to the right of the dining room window, but it ended up being too light.
