The Tower

Let me start this post with the following statement: "I'm a guy. As with most males our description of colors are simple, such as: black, brown, blue, green, white (oh yes, white is a color), and red. Colors such as: taupe, chartreuse, wine, etc. do not exist in my library of colors. Get the picture?" Now that that has been established let me talk about the tower. We have finished painting the upper part of the tower (well there is a little touch up work to do), and the colors are: dark green for the cedar shakes; beige for the window trim with a thin line of green on the inner trim and maroon for the window sash; light green for the dentil work at the top with maroon on the trim below the dentil work; the outer trims of the tower (top and bottom) are beige with a white underside. (You need to click on the pictures and zoom them in to see the detailed work). It is such a wonderful feeling (not that I'm a feeling type of guy) to see the details of the tower. The color scheme is perfect. All praise must go to my wonderful wife, Chris, for her vision.
