shutters

I've been wanting to paint our shutters for quite awhile now, but couldn't decide on a color. I finally bought the paint last fall, but have put off starting this project. Nathan is on spring break and wanted to make a little extra cash, so I've put him to work this week. We are getting lots of things marked off of our big to-do list: the shed yesterday, and today, we did some painting outside. He also power washed the house, and started on the shutters.
We have had green shutters for 22 years, I think it was time for a change, don't you?

I went with brown {I know, how much more exiting than green!}, but while trying to decide, I kept going back to shades of brown. I was crossing my fingers that I would love the color and I do!  I was looking for a cocoa color and this was the closest to what I was picturing.

Color: Valspar Bittersweet

I've ordered white vinyl house numbers from etsy for our house sign. Now, I just need to decide what color to paint it.
