Home Makeover update

We got tired of dirty white garage doors, so we painted them yellow!
We started out with faded brown stucco trim and tried to match, but we don't really like brown. So we painted the trim dark grey and tried a million colors on the doors. We ended up with "Bee's Wax". The bees like it. The kids think it's cheerful.

After painting the trim and doors, staining the soffit and fascia, and sealing the driveway.
Only the soffit and fascia is stained here.
 
The new mailbox and driveway sealed.
 Before...
 
This shows the stained deck and soffit and fascia, painted trim, door and chimney caps.
This is before...it's all pretty faded.
 This is the front with new staining and painting and no snow =)

 
 TB worked really hard this fall and I replaced one doorknob and dead bolt myself.

Aimee, I have to say that I was in doubt when you first told me that you had painted the doors yellow, but it looks awesome! You guys have done a fantastic job.
