Title: Gray houses
Post by kimmeesue on Oct 19^th, 2005, 3:45pm

Just curious, how many people have homes that are painted some shade of gray.
I live in a small rural town on a "typical" middle class street. All homes ranging from 2-20 years old. More than half of the homes are gray.
I have seen entire gray sub-divisions.
What is the deal?
BTW my house is NOT gray.

Guilty...but I bought it like that.

Been here 7 years and have already paid off 16 years of a 30 year mortgage, so im painting this fucker purple in the next year or so ;;D

Sorry, brick with cream trim. But our first house was a teeny tiny little ranch that was bright yellow (REALLY BRIGHT YELLOW) when we bought it. We painted it gray. ;;D

I have a grey house.........I'm guilty too......

when we moved in - the deck was just plain wood ... we stained it a burgandy color - and now it makes the house look a little LESS grey - and more of a purpley-grey.........LOL

The deck is on the front of the house...........
wait - here's a pic.

this pink blotches are from the pic getting wet before i scanned it - the house doesn't have pink blotches on it. ;;D

anyway - the sub-division I live in has to approve your house color...LOL. They dont want all the houses to look the same or be the same color... so there's a variety here. it's nice.

One of my friends lives on a street where all the houses are white with black shutters and they all look the same... only difference is the house numbers. And these are NEW houses and are really nice. It's a shame they do that.......looks incredibly stupid.

I agree - what's with grey?
