I like the green.

Are you using photoshop to do this? Id love to paint my porch a different color other than white, but my gutters and trim are white. I kinda want my house to look evil, I want to due a dark grey lol

I pretty sure at this point that we are going green. As for the shade, we’ll just have to buy some samples and throw some paint on there in Spring/Summer!

As for how I did the coloring on the last few posts, yep… it’s PhotoShop. I found a YouTube video of how to do a color change on a house… just followed their instructions and it worked out good enough for what I needed. It took a while to get it right, but totally worth it. I was able to paint a masking layer any color I wanted, then adjusted it as needed. Really cool, to be able to paint it every color and get an idea!
