We Have A Paint Color Winner!

While out for our usual evening walk, it struck me. As we strolled through our neighborhood the moss that clings to the trees caught my eye. That's it! That's the color of paint we need for the house. I grabbed a chunk of it and off to the paint store we went.

This is definitely the one. It has a hint of green and pulls out the mossy green hues in the stone. It leaves the stones neither too yellow or to orange. It's perfect, right?

After looking at these three choices for about a month, we decided they were either too peach, too grey or too much of a glow.

Here's a close up of the three colors. Way too pale and just not quite right with the color.

We were close to choosing Hazelnut Cream, the patch of color on the bottom. 

 We put a patch to the left and even did an extra patch of it next to the stone.

Overall I think the mossy green will make the stone look a little elegant. In case you didn't notice, there's Mi Miguel. He's kind of blending in with all that peachiness going on with the house and the shirt. 

 Right now, we like the house. Hopefully the mossy green will give the house that little pop of color that it needs and we can then start really loving this house.

At one time a lot of people were doing the yellow and the soft orange tones with this Italian stone. It's time for a change. It's also time to find a person that works in masonry for the removal of the arch that's over the sidewalk. 

I think I just may paint the back of the house today for Mi Miguel. I'm that excited to see what the new mossy green color will look like. It's the one, don't you think?

Let's hope it looks amazing! It's time to go paint all things a lovely shade of green!
