A Patchwork Quilt

Our roof is finished!! it looks amazing!! our old house is lifting it's head up high in pride.
Now we just need to get the trim painted so we don't look like such a mod-podge. You'd think we couldn't make up our minds what color scheme to go with, so we just went with all of it!!


Not to worry- we will be painting in the spring. :-) I plan to do the foundation in a very dark green- almost a blackish gray green. The remaining wood trim (what's now burgundy) will be a much lighter shade of the same green- almost a sage. and I think I am going to do the porch floor in a brick red.
One day we plan to install green shutters, too, which I think will make a world of difference.
One thing at a time... patience, patience. sigh!

Don't you think the roof looks like a Lincoln Logs Roof?? I love it!

See where our fabulous 3rd floor deck is going to be off the back of the house?? I can't WAIT!!!
