GREEN with Envy??

Who knew there were 72 colors called "white". And did you know that there are at least 3 times that many colors of gray??  And "beige", forget it!!

Tilo and I set out to find a simple easy light color for our exterior and have since gone through 2 bottles of vodka and had 3 fights!!  Our house looks like a quilt with all the test spots....

The only thing we agree upon is that we cant do a true gray and we dont really like the plain jane beige scheme.  Our "dream home" with the same granite has a greenish tinted gray stain on cedar shake siding.  I CANT change the siding now (or can I? - no seriously I CANT) so we need to make due with our board and batten.  Looking at our dream home..

 Tilo and I decided we would find that greenish/gray and make it "ours".  I have been to sherwin williams 4 times in the last 4 days and have spent $75 on paint samples - BUT we are getting close!! 

My mother's day will be spent painting and deciding, not necessarily in that order!!  I will post pictures of the green results tomorrow....We have basically one day to pick out trim colors, siding colors and wood stain colors!  I leave for Washington DC with Viola and her school Monday! Could the timing be any better??
