Let the painting commence!

I've been so eager to paint my house, really since I signed on the dotted line. I envisioned heather gray, with black and white trim and a deep purple door front door.
After several trips to Sherwin- Williams and many samples of gray. I've/we've come to the realization, that my vision may have been a bit flawed. My husband (Torsten) and decided to walk around the neighborhood and we noticed several houses are painted gray. I'm not sure if it's a case of selective perception or if there really are a lot of gray houses. The other factor that has come into consideration is the fact there are very few blue houses in the neighborhood.  Our house has always been blue. When we describe our home to friends and family we always refer to it as the blue colonial.

Now that we decided to keep the exterior blue we have to decide on a shade! So far here is what we have come up with:



After Much thought and deliberation- Smokey Blue the color above the two gray boards emerged as the winner.
