So Like any good painter we began with a nice coat of white primer. We thought that because it is such a small place it would be a snap to paint. Unfortunately none of us have ever painted shingle siding before. Needless to say, we will have paint brushes in hand this coming weekend.
You can see here, we are making some progress around the back side of the building.

Here we have finally finished with the primer and have begun to apply the blue color.
We ended here for the day. The back side of the house still needs a coat of blue but that's next weekend. Until then I plan on doing a little landscaping ( Ha! if you keep reading my blog you'll soon realize that I am a terrible gardener)
And of course, A side by side comparison to really see how
a coat of paint can do wonders!
There, I do not plan on returning to update this blog for a little while. I hope I have enticed you enough so that you'll come back to see more pictures. I've got all the updated interior photos that I plan on posting later in the week. Thanks for reading!

Hi there! I found your blog thru Lallee. What a great little cottage! Paint makes a HUGE difference doesn't it? I bet you are so excited. It's a happy blue you've chosen, I like it. I bet those shingles were a bugger to paint. You're making me dream of a little place by the water. Lucky you!
We just painted out exterior as well. It's like a whole new house!
Best,
Nikki
Sooo cute! I love the blue! Such an improvement over the brown!!! :)
