House Exterior

I met my best friend in college. We were freshman roommates. And then we broke the 'the shalt not room with thine best friend' rule and were senior roommates.


In high school she went to Colorado to visit potential colleges. Fortunately for me, she ended up in Oregon. But, unfortunately for me, she loathed Colorado from the start. And I have to say, I agree with her assessment.


Colorado is the land of purple mountains, amber grains, wide blue skies...and beige.


Beige is the color of choice. It's everywhere. Interior. Exterior. And it drives my bestie insane.


Which is why as soon as we moved into our house, I knew we were going to make some changes if I ever hoped to convince her to visit.

It only took about five months to finally make some paint decisions (and convince my cohabitant that citrus green is a GREAT idea for a front door). We kept it low(er) budget and labor by painting just the trim and front door.

And. I. Love. It.
