Red Dirt Farm and Studio

Goodbye, Coral Cottage.

Hello something something cottage…

We are going green and blue.

All summer I’ve had paint samples taped to various parts of the house.  I studied those samples at different times of the day and on sunny days and cloudy days, ’cause you know how paint can change in different light.  After a few weeks, I had pretty much narrowed my choice down.  I wanted colors that had a light breezy coastal vibe but didn’t scream beach house.  We have lived with and loved the coral, purple and yellow paint on the cottage for many years now.  However, with the new red roof those colors did not work.  And it was time for a change.  Besides, the new colors complement our peacocks – oh yes that’s important.

Mr. Cottage paints a large enough sample so we can really get a feel for these new colors.

It is such a big change.

Mr. Cottage and I took to the new look immediately. I think we tried to talk ourselves out of it, for whatever reason. It is scary making so many life changes, even paint choices are a big deal.  Hopefully, in the next few weeks, the professional painters will take over and do this big job for us.

Are you making any major changes to your home or life?

Thank you for being here today.
