The wall is coming along! We started painting the wall this weekend. We chose a shade that is between the dark grey of the stucco and the light grey of the mortar that holds the "stones" up on the exterior of our house. If I didn't have the white of the trim to compare it to, I'd say that wall is white.
We used paint rollers, so we still have to go back through with a paint brush to get the cracks, corners and edges. I need to do a closer inspection to determine if we need a second coat. It was really difficult to paint the stucco because of the texture.
After we're done with the grey, we'll be painting the wood trim black to match the house. You can sort of see the black shutters and soffit of the house...
This next photo is the view from the end of the driveway. I'm hoping the black trim will help give the wall some definition. We are also planning to put in a walkway from the driveway to the front door and lining the wall with bushes. That will have to happen next spring since we need to attend to some interior home improvement first. Now that Callaway is not around to scrape up the trim on the doors and Sagira's not around to scratch off the paint of the doorways, I think it's time to repaint!
This gap in the wall is where that gate is going to go after I bring it home from Illinois. Man, I hope it looks okay. Buying a gate in Illinois while I'm in Texas is sort of like planning a wedding in Illinois while I'm in Texas. Only smaller scale.
We're in the home stretch!
