Love the New Paint!

We just finished having our house painted. I know I asked you a couple of weeks ago to help me decide on what color to select. Well I didn't pick either of the original colors! I went darker and I'm so happy I did. I still have to finish painting the coach lights that go up by the garage doors, they got one coat last night and look really cool. I bought that faux stone spray paint for something different.Our painter is going to remove these two sliding glass doors today. The one of the left goes into the kitchen and we are going to replace it with a french door and a window above it. The sliders on the right go into the living room. Those are being removed and a wall with a stationary window will be installed in its place. Not sure why the builder thought it was necessary to have two huge sliders (they are 8ft tall and cheaply made) right next to each other. We have another slider that is over to the right of these that goes into our bedroom. That one is leaving too with a french door and window taking it's place. Can't wait until it's done... so exciting!!
{there is the crazy grand-dog in the picture} We had her for 48 hrs over the weekend and then again for another 48 hours now. Jessica has been picking up some extra hours at work.

Since the house looks looks all pretty and new we decided the pool deck needs sprucing up too. Right now it's a very light beige color. I decided we need to pep it up a little so decided on this paint. What do you think? Hopefully you like it because I bought it yesterday ;-) The color is called Corn Muffins. I think it will look nice and give it a more tropical look.

LOVE LOVE it Joni. That is exactly the color I would love to have. Changing out the sliders is a great idea. So wish we could do that. I hate them. Also love the color for the pool area.
