Shingle shingle come to mingle

The black shingles are up and the first of the trim work is nailed in. Windows are framed and installed. I am having mild panic that we've chosen the wrong colors and exterior finishes. Breathe!

A roof over our heads

I've slacked on my blog good-ery so I must back the train up and post the finished framing that happened less than two weeks ago. We've been busy finding some nice counter height stools for the built in island in the kitchen -- still not finalized, a chunky jute woven rug, and some other odds and ends. I need to win the lotto!

Colors. Colors.

The exterior color selection is Basil - third row second from the bottom (click for larger image) - for the main house color. We will paint the gables above the garage and the front of the house two shades lighter. The trim, porch railing, and craftsman style post will be a nearly white color called Snow Bound ;)
