“I love the color of your house!”
Let’s cover this up fast!
(Late April…early May 2020): After my many color panicked moments, I eagerly awaited seeing the siding and trim go up to cover that too-bright outside turquoise insulation. I held my breath on this one until I could really see the color palette come to life. And as soon as I saw the nautical white up on the front of the structure, I knew our designer team had nailed it. I knew the palette that we landed on was absolutely perfect. Mike and I had loads of fun seeing our house get a siding and a paint job all at once as our efficient siding team from NJ Siding and Windows headed up by Norbert did a great job putting up our pre-finished James Hardie siding, giving the exterior of our Happy Boolo home the perfect style!
The team quickly covered all sides of the home from top to bottom with our color palette scrambling up ladders, balancing on roofs and working on scaffolding. Impressive to see the attention to detail they took with making sure everything was measured properly and fit together in the right way. Fear of heights is clearly not an issue here!

Sawing to exact measurement is key!

Just as Julie O said, “your eyes are drawn up from dark to light to the sky!”
Tools of the trade - ladders, scaffold, saws, measuring tools & no fear of heights!
North side looking good!

Thanks to NJ Siding and Windows for a job well-done!
Mike and I have been amazed at how many people totally unprompted tell us how much they love the color! Whether they are neighbors, friends or people just passing by who live in our community, we hear from all ages, men and women that the color “looks beautiful!” Yay!! So glad I came home to my own palette of green. And I’m so thrilled that our home fits into our beloved Drury Lane neighborhood, the street and community that inspired our Happy Boolo project.
