As if there could be any other accent color

We are closing in on finalizing paint color for our house.

Just a quick update: we had our house recovered in Hardie plank/panel and there are a few areas of stucco accents. Presently, it looks like this:

The light grey areas are the stucco accent areas. The siding will be painted and the cedar decking and trim will be stained to bring out a bit more of that lovely cedar red.

But I need to show you the stucco sample and a closer shot of the paint color. Ready?

That's right people. A lovely chartruese-ish green (Martha Stewart Cornichon) for our stucco accent color and Benjamin Moore Kendall Charcoal for the house color.

Yes, we realize stucco doesn't naturally occur in this color. However, we really wanted something that popped off the grey and cedar. We are partially excited about proceeding with this and partially praying that we aren't creating the neighborhood eyesore.

I don't quite have the right lighting on this, but here is a wider shot of the front of our new porch.

And here is is with a Photoshopped Wall o' Cornichon.

You're not really going to miss that one in a storm, now are you?

Welcome to CZ Design Central. How may I take your order?

Stay tuned.
