Choosing a Beautiful Historical Color Palette for Our QueenAnne | Siding & Windows Installed WooHoo!

[@SuzanneBaruch]

It's so beautiful! I'm actually in tears right now. GREAT JOB, EVERYONE!!!

[@TheGrandLady]

OMG don't make me cry too!!

[@ManWhoLovesTheMary]

Honey! You’ve got such love for this house and its history, I trust the paint colors you choose will highlight its original integrity while tastefully fulfilling your zany AND classy contemporary spirit. How wild it is to see the siding go up. There are some ECCENTRICALLY colorful Victorians. Entire neighborhoods dedicated. Yours is delightful. Swish. Homy. Wholesome. And I can’t wait to see the porch up. Like. You’re goin’ ter be able to enter and exit your own FRONT DOOR!! Imagine that!!!! Oh! The coffee you will revel in those many mornings that will make this place that much more historical 100 years from now. The 865 page historic novel based in Syracuse you will write, made into a movie starring Timothy Chalamet and Jessica Chastain. Get writing!!!

[@Lea-bw9wj]

I'm so happy for you. After so long the Grand Lady is no longer looking naked and she looks stunning. She's only going to look better and better over time. You were the best couple to look after her and after the knock backs you have some amazing people to help you.

[@suzannemartin1876]

She is a beauty once again on most of the exterior!

[@diannacatesdunn]

You all are a joy to watch and support! Thank you for sharing your indominable spirits with us.❤❤

[@barbhale8709]

Looking good. So nice that there are people who see the beauty in the old homes.

[@rachelrosedale9714]

Oh my gosh Lindsay. She's breathtaking. You and Jim have made such huge headway!! The colors are gorgeous, no surprise that trusting your gut and your intimate knowledge of the Grand Lady's history and character are generating such stunning results. She's in great hands. Happy happy new year!

[@TheGrandLady]

Wow thank you!! We really care about her and the neighborhood... and Syracuse. Community is everything.

[@terrig4750]

So glad to see you all and one of the milestones I've been waiting for yay.

[@jacquelinestuart2341]

[@TheGrandLady]

Awwww.... Thank you!! We hope so. She's really been through it. It's so good to see her looking better.

[@SherylTaggart-hl5zk]

[@TheGrandLady]

So yummy!! Hope you still have that car!

[@potterkelly487]

Looking great, excited for the finish line! 🇨🇦❤️❤️

Finally starting to come together! I bet you are so excited! Betting you are feeling things are starting to look more like a house and less like a mess...

[@3_3645]

Is there a picture file of the homes on Martha's vineyard? There are some beautiful combinations . I remember an olive green and a burnt orange color some black on an old Victorian home And of course the wedding cake look with a lot of gingerbread trimming all white PS nice to see you working on your home again,hmm short sleeves, where you are I bet you have snow a lot of it. Cheers Looks really nice, burnt orange pots or garden boxes at the entrance. You both are so patient.

[@TheGrandLady]

i love that green orange vibe!

[@cindygambell8115]

Incredible! Love the color choices! Wishing you a happy and healthy new year!!!

Thanks! We're super excited about how she's coming along.

[@suehenker2878]

How about the lighter green for the siding, the darker for window and door trim and the wonderful red for fine details on the corbels! 1830 table and Steinway happily waiting for you :-))

[@vm5610]

Gorgeous! I love it!

[@scottiemom7973]

Looks lovely. Happy New Year !

[@TheGrandLady]

Happy New Year to you too!

[@pennyneal2456]

Oh this so exciting! Porch next? 🤞

[@TheGrandLady]

Yup! Porch next... after we go through our CNY blizzard Era.. haha.

[@cynthiahamilton8807]

thank you for the update, the house is looking great!

[@nanasewdear]

Picking a good color is so important. I'm speaking as someone who chose poorly and now needs to fix my mistake.

[@TheGrandLady]

OH NO!!!! What happened? And it's so hard right!!??? I feel your pain. "It's only paint" doesn't relieve the angst nor all the extra work it sounds like you may have ahead of you. I hope you get to where you love it - Emphasis on YOU loving it.

[@nanasewdear]

@@TheGrandLady I wanted kind of an autumn vibe and picked too bright of a yellow, too dark a green, etc. etc. I think we will paint the fish scales a white, paint over the green and go from there. Live and learn, right?! 🤪

[@TheGrandLady]

@@nanasewdear Oh it sounds so pretty! Love your positivity.

[@margaretorden7568]

I love the colours you chose! She’s really coming along now. Happy New Year!

[@TheGrandLady]

Thank you! Happy new year!

[@janetlewis8038]

Glad to see you again. Happy New Year! 😊

[@TheGrandLady]

Happy new year!

[@dwightlindgron4657]

I vote willow!❤

[@dwightlindgron4657]

Basil was a good choice!❤

[@TheGrandLady]

Haha.... well.... It was so hard to choose - I loved both of them and had to really search for a morsel of dislike to help me choose one.

[@ohthatjennifers.3259]

Spanish moss. ❤

[@TheGrandLady]

yay!

[@Alanna74]

Oh no vinyl windows. I'm sorry that had to happen.

[@TheGrandLady]

Yeah... with the unexpected turns we've had to be a bit more flexible. They are wood interiors so, that part is awesome! But yeah, not ideal. Haha

[@tater9685]

Good choices on the paint colors. I am disappointed with the stripper! I planned to use that product for my own lead painted house next summer. Good to know its a scam. When in doubt throw it out.

[@malloryknox90]

But it’s grey… it’s not green
