LET THERE BE BLACK(BERRY).

Despite the sentiments of one particular neighbor, we’ve decided to paint the house a very dark color.  At first we settled on a color appropriately named “Black” but we ended on a slightly lighter “Blackberry”.  Justification is that A) we like it and B) there is so much glass on the font and back that there is a relatively low percentage of painted surface.  When the glass is all uncovered and the wood trim is stained, the house will “fade” away and the architectural elements will really stand out.  And yes, that IS an orange soffit under the porch.
