.... we have finally done it. 
Made all the arrangements and paid the deposit and now our house is a beautiful shade of granite grey with white trim and black shutters. And it's almost done. We contacted with a local company to have the house covered in vinyl siding---in the long run, definitely the smartest thing to do. Maintenance free, energy efficient, and a great curb appeal investment. Actually a single contractor is working on our house and he lives about two blocks down our street! His craftsmanship and attention to detail is superb. We'll still have some work to do when he's finished like painting the doors, the basement window frames and the ornamental trimwork 
(which is staying pink) and replacing the porch railings with vinyl coated ones. But all that will probably have to wait until it gets warm again since the paint won't cure properly in these temperatures.

the house in progress.

Wishing I could have been in Omaha for the past 10 days or so--wanted so badly to be there for Becca and the emotional roller coaster she and Scott have been on and to share Katie and Garrett's joy as they became husband and wife! But for Black Friday, Thanksgiving, and absolutely rotten airfares we were SO there!
Off to the studio to work for a while. I'm tired of cleaning in preparation for decorating!
Enjoy,
Janet
