You know how much I hate the colour of my house, so I would choose anything but pink..........LOL....... In all honesty, I like cream in all it's guises. I totally dislike the prep work and clean up, but like the actual painting. Good luck with it, a big job indeed. Take care on that ladder!!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10206976005858712960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173987163809352845.post-85158358897065820442012-03-12T07:42:15.226+11:002012-03-12T07:42:15.226+11:00I think the colours you have chosen will look real...I think the colours you have chosen will look really smart :)Radkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04407639057505104281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173987163809352845.post-22788621840474410322012-03-12T07:04:35.548+11:002012-03-12T07:04:35.548+11:00I like the sound of your colour choices Dianne.

LOL. Love your colours Dianne. I have primed all the new base boards which face the street and preped the walls and primed the areas ready for this morning to start the top coats before it gets too hot. I suppose it is only half the house but that and work will keep me very busy for the next few weeks. My only worry is the height! Had a painter come through and do the top 4 weather boards and anything above but it still looks extremely high when you are a metre off the ground before the house even starts LOL. I've stuck with my original colour of 3/4 strength clotted cream (Dulux) for the walls and double strength for the picket fence and window trims and a soft green called french grey for the dog boards, gutters and verandah detailing. I chose these colours about 12 years ago because the house used to be white walls and purple/mauve trims, boards etc. Totally revolting and horrid paint used too as the prep work was horendous. Start with the best and it really lasts well. Haymes premium is going on this time round as Dulux exterior is not the same as it was 12 years ago. Insider painter information there LOL but I knoticed my father using Haymes abet the cheaper version last summer to repaint the backwall. I'd be careful what you choose to use on the decking as paint can be a nightmare for wear and tear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173987163809352845.post-84009031092605336352012-03-12T02:58:30.469+11:002012-03-12T02:58:30.469+11:00The colour is wonderful Dianne...a good choice me ...The colour is wonderful Dianne...a good choice me thinks...lol xJenstershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082734018728041118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173987163809352845.post-26109699511255427472012-03-12T00:43:36.098+11:002012-03-12T00:43:36.098+11:00Sounds like lovely choice, you will have to share ...Sounds like lovely choice, you will have to share the process.
