Lavender House Repaint, 25 Years Later

Similar to the color scheme of yore... but better! Original palette only had three colors, which left this Queen Anne-ish feeling a little flat. By adding a gradient of berry colors, the trim - which is a moderate in style but not especially noteworthy - really stood out in a way it never had before. What was a kelly green around the window shutters, 25 years ago, became the same Aegean Sea-teal we used for the kitchen cabinets. The usual extensive repairs were necessary, but with hardcore exterior paint, usually triple-coated, this paint job should last a good long while.
