It looks like this--
(UPDATE: I'm entering this card into Paper Crafts Magazine's Mixy-Matchy Style Challenge in the Moxie Fab World! I think it works; don't you? Find out about it HERE)
Anyway, just a quickie from me today. I am painting the brick part of my house today. (It was already painted, for you brick purists who are freaking out about that idea). I started it yesterday, and I LOVE the color. The color is sort of SU Baja Breeze-y . I just ordered some new, (finally) properly sized black shutters too, so I am excited to see it all together. Oh yes, the door will be painted lime green, as will the flower boxes.
This is the before--
Thanks for stopping by!
All Best-
Richard
Very pretty card and your home is lovely! I can't wait to see the after shots!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the win...and isn't "free" great...gotta love it!! Beautiful card, too!! Had to laugh at painting the bricks...we live in an OLD log home, been here 19 years, and the prvious owner had painted the logs outside, yep, but we keep it up and it looks okay to me, but I did overhear someone once say "they PAINTED the logs"...lol!!
ReplyDeleteWell dadgum...that post just went from good to better to best! Firstly, what an awesome uncle you are (gorgeous card). Secondly, HOLY BEANERS BATMAN...3 sets??? 0_o AWESOME!! Congratulations to YOU and lastly. LOVE your house!!! I think the painting of brick is marvelous. I can't wait to see the final pictures with the door and flower boxes when it's all done. That big window is fabulous!! We're actually building our very first and most likely LAST house right now and I really really should watch something other than HGTV! I'll take any home owner advice at this point :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats again Richard.
