The Curse of The Raisin has struck again!!! For those of you who don't know, "The Raisin" was Jeremy's 1998 Honda Accord. On the day he bought it (used), it was gray. Really. I was there. But several days later and in different weather, it was purple. Or at least gray with a serious purple undertone. We checked the paperwork and found the paint color listed as "raisin". That car was forever known as "The Raisin" and the two of us have been highly skeptical of anything gray since.
Fast forward to our gray-toned home under construction. We've worked so hard to make sure all our grays, whether paint or tile, aren't purple. But the exterior trim snuck by us. It's purple. I think somewhere between our sample and the color matching process, things went badly.
So, we've officially stopped the painters. 🙁 I've spent today trying to identify a new color and test it out. We've given our new choice to the builder and asked them to use the brand of paint it comes in, rather than color matching it at Sherwin Williams if possible. Fingers and toes crossed the new color works. If it doesn't, we're going to live with it and fix it next summer. We're also working with the painters to make sure the stained wood elements are going to look like we hope. Tough day for sure.
On the plus side, the floors look amazing. I'm so glad the inside is going well since the outside is so stressful. I can't get pics tonight because HE'S STILL WORKING! But I snuck a couple when we were there this afternoon.
