Hello there! Welcome to Farmhouse Friday 454.
I hope your week has gone well. Mine has been so busy; I’ve not had time to do much of the “needed” things. So this weekend will be catch-up instead of catch-ya-later-I’m-going-antique-shopping. Bleh.
I mentioned last week that I’d share a photo of the new trim paint color on the house. We still need to trim the bushes, add flowers to the pots, and add fresh mulch, but we can’t do that in this heat. It will be done as soon as we can. Sorry if you’re one of our neighbors.
I don’t think the beige was terrible, but it’s been there since it was built in the year 2000. And to be honest, I’m not 100% in love with the new color. But it was time for something different. Something to make the stone and darker bricks pop a little more. Plus, there are only so many color choices. Our HOA board is a cranky bunch.
It’s a warm gray by Sherwin-Williams called Gauntlet Gray # 7019. I looked through the fan deck at every taupe color they had, and none of them looked good.
But one thing is for sure – it looks fresh and new again. And instead of the light terracotta bricks saying hello, the charcoals and taupe bricks are more dominant.
Our house went from Plain Jane to Stand-out Stanley!
Okay, moving on. This week, our theme will be anything outdoors. So link up your favorite outdoorsy posts!
FARMHOUSE FRIDAY 454
If I walked past this in a garden, I might be tempted to take a selfie. It’s so cute! Pop over to see how Missy at Sonata Home Design created this beautiful idea.
Not only are the flowers gorgeous, but just look at those floral plates! I’d quite enjoy my time sitting here with Sandra from Dinner at Eight! You’ll definitely want to check out more of her inviting table.
You will NEVER guess what this little cutie was in its former life! And you HAVE to stop by and see all of the different ideas she can use it for now! Get the deets from Ann at The Apple Street Cottage. And don’t forget to pin it!
Cecilia from My Thrift Store Addiction has done it again with her creativity and sense of smell! If you want your home to smell heavenly after you clean it, click over and get the recipe for her Rosy, Citrus, Herb Cleaner. I probably wouldn’t mind cleaning so much if the house smelled like that!
