AND THE COLOR IS...

YELLOW!

Ten paint samples and 13 gallons of the final paint color later, we have a yellow house. Again. I'm quite happy with the color, though. The house is cute in its yellow splendor and definitely still notable amongst all of the other different colors of houses that we live among (not one of them truly yellow, might I add). I thought the 13 gallons we had to use to cover the old color was a bit overboard, but we have a hunch that the previous yellow was the original color. It was sucking the new paint in as if it were thirsty from years of neglect.

Looks sunnier and brighter, don't ya think!? :) We like it. :) And our neighbors are probably glad we didn't choose purple. ;)
