Highlights of 2015

Happy New Year to you all!

Just saw this looming over Albany Bulb which I see as a good omen for 2016…

Feel The Love 2016!

It has been such a busy year and now that the rain is falling and I am cozied up in my office for a few days, I want to share some of the many highlights from 2015.

2015 was definitely the year for dark colored exteriors with bright pops of color…here’s a great example.

Starting off a soft yellow-green…

And definitely in need of some love, attention, scraping and sanding…
