God blessed us with unusually warm and dry weather in April 2012. Ken was itching to get out there and start working, and so with the very first warm day, he was outside scraping the flaking part of the house.

The previous owners had painted 3 sides of the main part of the house, and if we lived on a road where the road went straight by our house, half done job wouldn't have been such an eye sore. But we live almost on a peninsula of land where the road curves around our house, letting you see it from all angles except from the very back. So no matter which direction you came from, you saw half a house painted. Quite the eyesore! While it wouldn't have been the first thing on our list to get done, I was glad it was getting done!
Once the one side of the kitchen wall was scraped, we decided to paint it, in order to make sure that we loved to color. We saw a house in a nearby town that had a similar design to ours, and we fell in love with the color scheme.

We were too embarrassed to just walk up and say, "Hey, we love your paint colors. Do you know the names of them?", so instead we took a million pictures of the house, took a million paint chips for Home Depot and Lowes and set to work trying to match the colors. I'd say we came pretty close!!
