Oh My!

Our new neighborhood is a "Front Porch" neighborhood with home designs from the 20s and 30s.  The houses are all different colors--like a package of M&Ms.  Soooo the color house I wanted was an olive green with red trimmed windows and off white trim.  However the colors cannot be repeated on the street.  There was already a red house, a blue house, a yellow house, an olive green house and a tan house.  Soo our color is a very pale pea green.  Not what I would have chosen at all--we have red fish scale shingles on the front gable, a red front door, off white window trim, off white house trim and a pea green house---uh well it will look good with Christmas decorations.  I love the house so much though that I really don't care.  Pictures to come :)
Okay, here is the finished color of the house.  It is beginning to grow on me--although it is not my choice.  The door will be red like the gable and has 6 windows at the top.  The porch rails still have to be put on.
