Finally got the middle barn fixed after we had the tree land on it. The support beams have been replaced/repaird and we got a new gorgeous barn red metal roof on it. We couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. Now that this gorgeous red roof is in place, it only makes the exterior look dull and lifeless.
Some who know me well say I was born with a paint brush in hand. There is truth behind that statement. Not only do I have an art backgound, but I have an obsession (yes, it's a sick obsession I reluctantly admit) to wanting to paint every surface I see. Something along the lines of painting the town red, that's me! My husbsnd, the good sport that he is, has come home from work many of days to find the house tore up, new colors getting thrown on the walls, me covered in most of it and a paint brush in hand. I swear he never really cared because it was one less chore he was responsible for.
So in keeping with our wood cottage feel we have going on, I decided painting the shed and smaller middle barn both grey to match the house. The gorgeous red roof will pop against the gray for sure. We're redoing the shed roof next because it just looks terrible next to the brand new one.
As for the main barn.... that's going to be a surprise. I know in my head how that's going to play out but I want to save the reveal for when it happens. For now, two of our outbuildings will be shiny as new!
Here's some before and during photos. Finished product to come in the next few weeks!

PAINTING BEGINS:
Oh yea, I had the world's best painting partner to keep me company, our American Bulldog, Duke! He's the best when you need company. If only we could drink beer and hold a paint brush!
Dark brown trim still needs to be painted, but we're loving this dark gray!
Until next time....
