Choosing house paint colors

What do you think of the new house colors? This is something I put together in Photoshop to try out some colors before we went and bought paint.

A closer view.

Here it is from the street. It was still raining.

Look at those beads of water...cool...

Check out our deck!

Chris and I have really gotten into doing small house projects recently. Today we decided to re-stain and seal our front deck. It desperately needed it, so we grabbed a gallon of that Thompson's Water Seal stuff for decks at Wal Mart. We worked together and had it done by lunchtime. Just now it started raining really hard. (The directions said that we needed to let it dry for at least 2 hours, and as of when it started raining, it had been about 6 and a half hours, so we were fine.) We were anxious to see how well that stuff worked, so we peeked out the storm door and our deck looked like it does in the commercials for this stuff! Cool!! Check it out...
