| Original paint -- cream and light green |
Every
summer for the last five years, painters have knocked on my door to tell me the
house needs to be painted and offer a deal. One painter even tried to play
Mike and me against each other. “Your husband says it’s up to you,” he said,
and then complained to Mike that I must be hard to get along with. Well, in a
way he was right.
After
20 years, I did think the house was overdue for new paint. It had faded for
sure, and sitting between two recently painted houses in darker colors, it appeared
dated and shabby. I just had to convince Mike, but once he was on board, he
stepped up to it and found a painter – Pryme Tyme Painting – that we both
liked. That painter was businesslike from the beginning, providing a written
estimate and making suggestions, including painting the trim a contrasting
color and making a statement with the front door.
So
– It’s finished now, and we’re pleased. And I figure it will be a while before
the painters knock on the door again. KW

Wow! That’s fun! Very classy. I like the front door. We need a photo at the same angle as the “before” for a good comparison.
