Our continuing quest to de-blue the house took another huge leap forward yesterday with the repainting of the deck. See, the previous owners of the house had a fetish for this particular shade of blue, which was used… well… on pretty much any paintable surface. We’ve been slowly working to change that and add a few splashes from other locations on the color wheel.

A very nice Rubbermaid mailbox, painted the same color blue as the deck which is now chipping off. Did I miss anything?
looks much better!
