Coloring our World II (From the Outside In)

We are excited to post the results of the Great Debate II.  The house color we selected has apparently drawn a lot of attention in our small town.  The color we chose is from the Benjamin Moore historic palette (Mill Street Blue) and is a very close match to the original paint color of the house (uncovered under several layers of wood and siding when we removed the old front porch).  Our painter has indicated that he's never had so many people stop by to comment on a job (fortunately, all positive to date!) or received so many additional jobs from a single house-painting job.  We are thrilled with the results - it's exactly what we were hoping for, and, it's always nice when a decision we agonized over for so so long appears to be the right one (or at least, one of several "right" ones, since there is usually more than one way to "skin a cat").  

Here's the process (yes, the entire house was brush painted by hand, three coats, to give it the authentic vintage brush stroke look) and the end result:

The Great Debate II is officially over, results posted, and we have a winner!
