My new house!! (paint) :)

As most of you know, we almost didn't buy our wonderful house because of how much I disliked the outside (love the inside though).  We planned to paint right away when we bought it, but other things took priority.  I'm glad we waited because a new house was built in our subdivision and we love the colors so we were able to paint ours in the same colors.


Here's how our house used to look (except it was a lot uglier in person, seriously)

Here's our house now, except it looks even prettier in person, seriously. 

Mark made the shutters himself (there are some on the bottom window too, but it's hard to see with the tree in the way).  He did an amazing job and it only took him a few hours and it saved a ton of money.  Then the painters painted them and put them up.

Here's our new gorgeous front door, it's hard to see in the other pictures.  It's a beautiful "front door red", Mark's parents gave it to us because we were having a hard time finding the right color and they had some left over from painting their house. 

I'm so thrilled with how the whole house turned out.  The pictures don't do it justice (but it helps if you click on the pictures to see them bigger).  It's a beautiful light green with white trim and dark accents.   You'll all have to come see it in person.  Have a great weekend! 
Love,  Aubrey
