No kidding. <br />It still looks ok though... it was in the 70's on Sunday so that gave it a chance to dry.

Hee... our shutters ARE the exact same ...Me again!<br /><br />Hee... our shutters ARE the exact same shade then, lol...<br />No, seriously~ I had just wondered if you had done any research, or perhaps know when they were last painted?<br />I'm thinking what ever color it is, may have been very popular at that time. I'm *guessing* mine were painted in the 40's last, but I really have no idea.<br /><br />I'm the wrong person to ask about paint colors for your house. It was a complete nightmare. I wanted a cream, with just a *hint* of yellow. Just dark enough for the white trim to contrast with. I LOVE the color in the summer with the sun shining bright, but I didn't like it over the winter.<br /><br />White with black shutters IS classic, and since you have seen your home in that state before I say go for it! Best wishes!<br /><br />Beautiful beachy scenery too!
