Not exactly “the town”, eh? In my case, it was the shutters on the second story front of the house that I painted red. And by “red”, I mean Classic Burgundy, a Benjamin Moore color. Six windows, twelve shutters, 6 hours total time on Saturday spent alternately crouching on, and stretching up from the porch roof. Didn’t fall, #FTW!
Shutters, faded, “Before”
Shutters, shiny, rich, “after”
Today: shopping, started the laundry, cleaning, mowing. We went out for an early supper at Mi Hacienda.
