933 Patria Circle Bob and Katie

Painting at 933 Patria Circle Bob and Katie's The wonderful thing about owning a house, you do not have to ask if you can paint. You can just add color when and where you want. The painting is adding color, life and warmth to the house.
See the before and after pictures side by side.
September 2005, we added some color to the Front Room.

click on image to enlarge	After seeing just the one wall we decided to do both.

October 2005, now that we had color on two walls, we realized how sterile the white walls looked. We decided the "Terra Cotta" walls would look better against something other than white. We selected a very light tan, almost the color of coffee with lots of cream in it.

Once Katie got started she could not stop and so color was also added to the master bedroom in October.

The Slider and window above it face south and a little east, the morning sun shines right in. I hope this helps keep the room a little darker in the morning.
