Paint Colors

In my last post, I wrote about how Rob has been replacing the eaves on our house with natural cedar instead of painted wood.  You wouldn't think this would be rocket science except for the fact that the primary color of our house is yellow and our fairly new double-paned windows (that came with the house when we bought it) have white divider panes imbedded between the layers of glass.  Thus we are stuck with some white.

I'll keep you posted.
