Exterior Color Schemes

It is almost that time of year again.  The snow is was finally melting.  The birds are chirping.  The sun is out a bit more and the days are getting longer.  Amazing what a little extra sunshine can do for your mood!  (Not to mention how it tends to, ahem, highlight  a few of your home’s exterior imperfections.)   It is never to early to think about painting the outside of your house.  Some touch up here and there or maybe even a whole new color scheme can really make you feel better about your home’s curb appeal.

I have pulled together a collection of homes and color schemes for you to consider.

The family and I headed to Art Prize yesterday to take in some culture,  admire the art and do a little people watching!  What a fantastic place to be on such a nice fall Sunday afternoon.

I gave my kids a mission:  Find all of the pianos they could so Mom could take a picture.  They did really great!  I wish we could have seen them all but our feet wore out after a few hours of hoofing it around town.  Here are a few pictures of the ones we spotted…

I pass by a billboard on M-6 every day with a slogan about Grand Rapids that reads “Cool City, Hot Art”.  It got me thinking about how Grand Rapids has become so hip and current over the past decade.   Although I am no artist, I am a great admirer of other’s creativity.  How exciting to have the chance to see thousands of artistic displays in our city.  Art Prize definitely puts Grand Rapids on the top of cool places to see.  Cool City, indeed!!

Seven’s Paint & Wallpaper has been given the opportunity to work with a ton of artistic people who are painting pianos for Art Prize.  They will be placed all over GR and anyone can walk up and play!
