No, the house is not done (nor will it be soon- Ben just got diagnosed with the flu! 
) but here is the most-requested picture so far: the new color. First up, the unpainted version of the house: (that sunlight gets me every time!)
Aaaaand…. the new color!!! I love it so much.
You just never know if you’re going to love the color that you chose en masse as much as the tiny sample you paint on the side. But I love it even more! Oh, and I was away at a blog conference while it was being painted so Ben was giving me real-time text updates which was fun but also made me nervous!
One of my favorite pictures EVAH!
The white trim really makes the color pop. (Oh, did I mention that I LOVE that tree right there? Okay, I did, but I still love it!) Paint color = Liquid Mercury by Behr at Home Depot
Please pray for our family, that no one else gets sick. (Evie is already sick, too). Ben actually took 2 weeks vacation starting tomorrow so we could work hard and heavy on the house, and now he’s down for the count. He has worked SO hard the last few weeks and I think he’s just worn out.
See you soon for another update!
Love it! Blue is one of my fav colors! Can’t wait to see more!!
thanks dear! Hope you’re doing well! Are you going to the blogger meeting tomorrow night?
The color is beautiful! I can see why you love it. I’m sorry that Ben is sick, especially right now when he’s on vacation.
I will be praying! xo
I love the color! The farmhouse looks so quaint and welcoming now. Great choice!
Thanks Melody.
we are SO excited! Thanks for stopping by!

Our neighbor just used a color similar to that on their house, too. I just love it! I stare at it every time we drive past.
Aww thanks! I love it- I was a little worried that I wouldn’t like it in such large scale but I really love it! thanks for stopping by!
I love grey for an exterior, and black too……I realized that on a trip to Amsterdam where these are traditional Dutch colors, and they look amazing with green plants and fun colors. Thanks so much for sharing on craft schooling Sunday, Ihope you will continue to share your progress, sounds really exciting and just up my alley. Only I moved to Israel where there are no farmhouses……..all the best!
Thank you so much! I hope you’re able to follow along- I just posted a new update!
Also, living in Israel sounds like such an adventure. I would love to visit someday.
Beuatiful! I would love to live in a farm house! I love what your doing with it! Breathing life into it again
Thank you Misty!
