Last week we met with our contractors to decide once and for all what siding we were going for on our house and my goodness, there were a lot of decisions. ...

Were you here last summer when we painted our house black? Well, we are still SO happy that we decided to go for it and go dark & bold. When we first started talking about painting the house, I definitely thought about going dark, but thought there was NO way Nathan would be on board... well, to my surprise, he was all for it. Once I started showing him photos of black homes on Instagram, he was sold! (and pretty sure he started painting the next day - hah!)

I want to spend a good chunk of the summer focused on updating the exterior of our Wisconsin cabin. I’ve got big plans, and at the top of the list is a new paint job. Since the day we looked at it, we talked about eventually painting it black. I like the grey-green color that the board and batten is stained now, but it has already faded in the two summers we have been here. It needed to be freshened up, and for us it was the perfect opportunity to take it to a darker place.
