Who decided on the multiple exterior colors?

I have clear cedar, sort of a ranch w/ a tower at one end. I think it's a 70's CA contemporary. We had stained until it just became too costly. Then, painted three sides and kept the tallest, most interesting side stained. Last stainer's color has not worked out, and the carpenter bees just drill this side while not drilling the painted sides. I'd like to paint this side a different color w/o getting drummed outta the neighborhood. I wanted to do this last time. Seeing yours has only added to my motivation. Needs painting now, certainly by Oct.

    Hi Kaaren,

    So sorry to have missed your message! They normally come to our office inbox but this one slipped through somehow.

    My husband and I decided on the colors! :) With lots of (literal) cutting and pasting and research and standing on the deck discussing. We didn't have to worry about neighbors not liking it, because you can't see it from the street.

    Good luck!

    Mine either, but you can see it from the golf path to the side and behind the house, and the members own the golf course. It's either a graphic or paint the side a whole different color. I'm pretty keen on doing it...do love yours too.

    Thanks for the reply...
