Adventures at The Bunny Manse

We had a bunch of chips laying around and then swatched and then watched the light play with each color. Sara at Four over One helped us find the bold vivid colors that would compliment rather than distract from the house.

Paint color will go up around October 7th is my guess.  I assume the house will be finished around October 16th.

Because Sunday was glorious for December I got Bill and Davie to come help in the yard. They raked up 20 bags of leaves while I dug up the plot of Tuberoses. Very happy to report that so far, the tuberoses are fine and should store fine for the winter! I was afraid I'd waited too long to get them out of the ground. In their place I put in 200 tulips. Come March we should have a lovely little garden bed of flowers greeting us just beyond the fence line. And so being outside I started thinking again of colors. Like Purple. with red and white accents. Maybe some green too. We have three buildings to paint so was thinking of inversing the colors on the smaller ones. Will keep playing with these ideas until we get the right color scheme.  Our Bunny Manse is huge, but from the outside doesn't immediately appear large.
