For the love of teal.


Our house was owned for years by the same woman, and grandma loved teal. When she died and her granddaughter became the owner, they inherited teal doors, windows and trim. We still have some teal paint peeking out around various places in the house, especially on the windows. My dear husband found that Google's street view feature in Google Maps has an old image--one featuring all the lovely teal. That has explained the teal counter top in our dining room. Funnily enough, I had a bedroom that color when I was in high school.

While I'm glad the house has been repainted with nice white trim, the siding went from white to this strange purple-gray color. One of my warm-weather projects is going to be tackling that paint job. I really want a navy blue house with white trim and a red front door.
