Butter anyone?

I think honestly was one of the hardest choices to make -- exterior paint colors! Although I didn't take pictures of all the colors, we went through atleast 6 colors (easily 6, probably more!). We wanted a khaki color... but somehow the colors never looked the same on the house as they did on the paint swatch -- we ended up with a lot of butter colors - and grey - and darker brown. Whew, I was stressing. Then we ended up finding the *perfect* color of what I'd had in my mind. We had already decided that it would either be this last paint color or we were just doing white. Luckily it worked out. Now David says that he wished we would have gone with the white. Why didn't he say that like 10 paint colors ago? ha ha :)

Here is 2 of our butter choices... they look just alike though, don't they? Some houses look good yellow but this wasn't one of those "good yellow" colors. It was a blah fake butter yellow. I could feel my arteries clogging up just looking at it! ha ha :)

We ended up going with a beige/light khaki color that almost matches the original hardiboard siding color. Yep, after all that stressful paint shopping with countless random, frustrating trips to Lowes/Home Depot/Porter Paint and money spent buying all the colors we thought we liked, we ended up matching the what it looked like in the first place! :) Go figure!
