Cut the Mustard

Alas, the orange is gone and replaced by a mustard yellow. I really like the change (as does my husband), but I also liked the orange. As a compromise we painted the garden shed orange instead. Our garden is now popping warm colors all over - a yellow house, orange shed and red barn. Let's just say we make our neighborhood glow. {Please note we're still remodeling, so ignore the messy roof, yard and other misplaced objects you see}

The Orange Controversy

My husband has started to work on the outside of our house...the porch in particular. He opened it up, moved the stairs and made beautiful columns. Our dilemma...the final colors. We love our chosen trim colors, but have disagreement on the main color. Basically, its orange. I love it, though I think it needs to be a couple shades darker. He can live without...though would like to leave it for a month, then discuss other options. In the meantime we have a large old house with a bright porch and old cream siding. Until the next color chapter...

Two Commissions

In the last couple of months I had the honor to create banners for two fabulous websites. Check them out: BukoPanden and Palate-to-Pen. Make sure you read their fun food posts too!
