Received this picture yesterday from my Dad. The paint job is really coming along nicely. The lighter brown trim was actually a last minute change, as originally it was set to be a dark Cherry-wood color.
It's interesting how everything is finally coming together, the yellow on the top shingles and the olive on the bottom. I mentioned to my Dad the the brown unpainted shingles on the bottom portion of the house (where the basement begins) actually can remain the color they are, the seem to blend nicely with the brown trim. A happy accident.
Unfortunately there has been nothing but rain the past few days so the painters haven't been back in awhile. Already though the neighbors stop and admire the house, they're so excited to finally see this old Victorian get the love it deserves. As our neighbor Audree said, "It's good to see her with her knickers back on! She's been naked for so many years!"
This is a a larger picture of the side part of the house (not street facing).
