Default Started the cottage

Just wanted to share. I primed and painted the body of the house
tonight. Kind of a pain to do with my wrist in a cast, but definitely
doable. The house walls are "Hazy Green" and the gable I mixed my own
color by adding white to it, to make a pale green. I have a very dark
green, but I didn't like the color (too yellow), so I think I'll buy
some black paint and make my own dark green for the small amount of
trim that needs the dark. Or maybe I'll paint it another color
entirely - more contrasty. I'll have to think about that one. The
trim goes on toward the end, so I don't need it right away.

Carol, you recommend foam brushes, which I used, but the small one
started disentagrating pretty quickly. Is that to be expected?

You were right. They do make a nice smooth texture.

There are 2 kinds that I've come across. One type was very smooth and I
seem to rememember them falling apart. The other kind is rough and didn't
fall apart. I got the latter ones at AC Moore.
