Exterior House Reveal…..and a name change
 Happy Hump day. I am still battling a nasty head cold …..but my sweet husband is on the mend and that’s all that really matters right now. If you missed our life lately you can get caught up here.
Â
I am thrilled to share a few pics of the exterior paint project but first wanted to make sure you knew that Top This Top That is now called Duke Manor Farm. Everything should be transitioned by the end of the week and there is nothing you need to do except change the name on your sidebar and not be confused when you see Duke Manor Farm and a slightly different look on my blog later this week.
We are pretty beyond happy with the way the color looks on the house. Although it’s risky going lighter with this red Georgia clay, my kids and the animals, it just feels like this is the color it should have been all along. The exterior color is called Sedate Gray.The trim is bright white and porch ceilings are called Open Air. All colors are from SW.
  When it stops raining long enough I will take pictures of the entire house and show you before and after pictures. It is quite the transformation.
Â
I wish all of you an super fantastic day.

Laura, from what I can see it looks gorgeous, can't wait to see the rest.
Gorgeous! I love it! We painted/stained our shingle house and I love how it looks too!
It looks beautiful! And I love the name change. 🙂
Looks fantastic, and love the new name!!
Just sunning! Hope you feel better and so happy to hear your husband is doing well! 🙂 Linda
Seems beautiful and it's not nice to tease. I can't wait to see more. I love the name change, perfect name for the farm

Your new paint looks amazing!
Get well. 🙂
I agree with your color. I can see the house smiling!
I love the color you chose for your house! It looks so pretty amongst the greenery outside. Speaking of you having a cold, do you think it could be allergies instead? I know you were outside working in your yard for a while recently. I heard that the ragweed is blooming right now. The reason I ask is because that's what I'm dealing with right now. I'm miserable too! I'm taking Zyrtek and hoping that it helps.
I'm so glad I saw this post! I wondered how this name got into my blog list!!! Your house looks beautiful.
Looks so beautiful Laura….and the name change is perfect!!!

Beautiful Laura!! And I luv the name change 🙂
Sounds quite posh don't you think?
It really looks good! Anxious to see the new look for the blog as well:D
Love the new brighter lighter color. Yes, the rain can move along now.

Laura, I'm sure that whatever style you choose for your blog will be great! You know how much I love the lighter tones but could never disagree with whatever color you've chosen. Love the gray and white. I read a while back that the reason they paint the celing of porches a blue/gray tone is to keep the bugs away. Have you ever heard that? Can't wait to see the rest of the house.
LOVE the new look friend! It's so pretty and fresh. 🙂
Have a great day!
