I painted the front (only) of this house in 2006, and added some flashing above the porch light to prevent water from getting into the walls. *

California Paints historical colors collection provided a pretty close match: Jewett White siding and Rain Barrel trim. The addition was not painted, so you can see a slight contrast here. *

The lighting makes it difficult to compare to the left side. The front of the house faces South, so it is always in shadow. *

I stained this shed to match the garage next door. Used three colors of Cabot semi-transparent stain (oil-based). *

The textured plywood siding alone absorbed three gallons for two coats; it had been weathered, untreated, for two years. *
