playing with paint colors

The pavers are officially complete! The paver head dude came by last night and sealed it. We debated wether to get the sealing done as we like the worn out look but common sense won out. We figure the pavers will get worn out eventually anyway but best to protect them if we can. The sealant changed the color a bit too which took a little getting used to but again its all 'new' so we'll give it some time to get scruffed up :)

We are super happy with how it all turned out but what is depressing now is the lawn. sigh...

We spent the day painting the stairs. It was damn hot outside. Anyway, we are experimenting a bit with how we might paint the stairs and railings. Take a look and let me know what you think.

We added a black trim, kept the posts white and painted the railings cream. For the stairs we painted the top cream and the backs white. The railings and posts on the porch are the original colors.

Note: the white isn't as bright as its just primer and the rest of the paint is just 1 layer of paint

This is what it looks like without the black trim (kind of)

We are so tired, this will have to do until next weekend. Work starts up on Monday and its gonna be busy! So you'll have to wait till next week to see what we decide :))
