Color My World

If you have been following our blog, you will know that selecting colors for our little gingerbread was a challenge. We have spent many hours walking around the Campground, looking at books and a pictures online. Thankfully, our daughter, Melissa, gave us a wonderful house warming gift: time with a color consultant!

Hank Rudisill from Painted Acre worked with us to learn about the Campground, our little cottage and what we liked for colors. He came back with 3 scenarios and we selected the "bold" one. The front of our cottage has 5 different colors on it. All of them are C2 paints (which you cannot get on the island, so we have been hauling them over). The colors: Body-Halifax, Trim-Shaker @150%, Rails-Artichoke, Porch ceiling-Silver Screen and Accents-Hot Tomale.

Unfortunately, we did not log the number of hours spent scraping, sanding, priming and painting 2 coats of paint on the front of our cottage. What we know is that if we had hired someone to do the amount of work that we did, we would be broke right now!
