So do check out Julia\u2019s Hooked On Friday\u2019s party this week!  There\u2019s lots of fun stuff going on over there as always!<\/p>\n<p>Choices, oh the choices we have.  The next choice up for our home is the exterior paint color.  Luckily the website has this little design studio where you can pick a home similar to what you have and then choose the colors for the roof, trim, front door and home.<\/p>\n<p>Hubby wanted me to pick my top three colors and mull over them a few days so this is what I came up with.  I picked my top three but I also picked two more just in case he didn\u2019t like what I had in mind.<\/p>\n<p>The company does not offer the candle light yellow that I was aiming for, so the next best thing is this Adobe Cream.  It\u2019s as close to yellow as I\u2019m going to get with the colors they offer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/SdYZY7PF1WI\/AAAAAAAAC5g\/OF-pfADPkY0\/s1600-h\/1AdobeCream.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 202px;\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/SdYZY7PF1WI\/AAAAAAAAC5g\/OF-pfADPkY0\/s400\/1AdobeCream.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320467925793363298\" \/><\/a><br \/>I truly want a red front door and this cranberry color is as close as I could get to red in this program.<\/p>\n<p>The next choice is this Colonial Ivory.  Not as creamy and bright as the one above so I make this choice #2  I would keep the red front door with the Colonial Ivory as well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/SdYZQ3Pjv2I\/AAAAAAAAC5Y\/owMufplsYfo\/s1600-h\/2ColonialIvory.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 204px;\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/SdYZQ3Pjv2I\/AAAAAAAAC5Y\/owMufplsYfo\/s400\/2ColonialIvory.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320467787282628450\" \/><\/a><br \/>Next up is Monterey Sand.  This is way off from my yellow preference but a nice light sand color.  So this color comes in as Choice #3.  And my red front door will still apply with this color.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/SdYZI8NJefI\/AAAAAAAAC5Q\/BxpUy6lxCSE\/s1600-h\/3MontereySand.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 203px;\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/SdYZI8NJefI\/AAAAAAAAC5Q\/BxpUy6lxCSE\/s400\/3MontereySand.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320467651175741938\" \/><\/a><br \/>To switch things up a bit, just in case hubby didn\u2019t like any of my choices above, I took it a step further picking out my next two favorite colors.  Next up is this interesting Coastal Sage.  I really believe this color could grow on me.  With the Coastal Sage, you will notice I changed the front door to match the white trim.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/SdYY_3k01GI\/AAAAAAAAC5I\/fVZGK39d-ZE\/s1600-h\/4CoastalSage.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 205px;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/SdYY_3k01GI\/AAAAAAAAC5I\/fVZGK39d-ZE\/s400\/4CoastalSage.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320467495314052194\" \/><\/a><br \/>And last I picked Mystic Blue.  This is another color I\u2019m quite fond of as I have big plans of painting hubby\u2019s office in this color.  The front door would also go with the white here as well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/SdYY3jr3bqI\/AAAAAAAAC5A\/toffUDSYKoI\/s1600-h\/5MysticBlue.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 203px;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/SdYY3jr3bqI\/AAAAAAAAC5A\/toffUDSYKoI\/s400\/5MysticBlue.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320467352535920290\" \/><\/a><br \/>Hubby is giving me the liberty of picking out the color of the home but I definitely want him to like it too.  And he contends that if I\u2019m happy with it then he\u2019s happy.  He\u2019s likes both the Adobe Cream and the Mystic Blue but I think he would go with any of these.  Do you have a favorite?<\/p>\n<p>The next step is to look at all the samples and make a decision.  The builder is dropping all of these samples in the mail today and we should have the decision made by sometime next week.<\/p>\n<p>Hope you\u2019re enjoying your Friday and don\u2019t forget to check out <\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial;font-family:Arial;font-size:12;\"  ><a href=\"http:\/\/hookedonhouses.net\/2009\/04\/02\/hooked-on-not-so-big-houses-and-giveaways\/\">Hooked On Friday\u2019s<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">!<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mylivesignature.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/signatures.mylivesignature.com\/54486\/282\/912326E072E0D684DBBFDF228FB0CE16.png\" style=\"border: none; background: transparent;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s Hooked On Friday\u2019s.
