Wet Paint

We FINALLY painted our shutters this past weekend. For those of you who didn't know, or who have chosen to forget, our shutters were previously a weird purpley-maroon color that the previous owners had chosen. Not so nice. After living here for three years, however, I had totally gotten used to the color. I never even noticed it anymore, but it drove Dan NUTS! Dan always felt that it was the color an annoying neighbor would choose just to be obnoxious. And...as it turns out...that was the case! Our neighbors, from across the street, came over tonight and thanked us for painting them blue. They told us they were "much easier on the eyes". We are so embarrassed that we didn't paint them earlier.

Here is a picture from last Halloween showing some of the original color:
