So would you believe it?!? We chose the color Mulberry (at left) for our home because we really like the color green, it is rather neutral, but a little bit different, and few people have a color even close to the one we chose. SO, imagine my shock when I looked at the teardown/rebuild two doors down and saw that their siding is – you guessed it – GREEN! 
Their trim is a slightly darker color (ours is Nantucket White at right), and they have brick on the front and siding mostly on the sides, but really! So, I guess green is really a more popular color than we thought… Anyway, the siding should be going up this week so we’ll really be able to see how we compare with the Joneses. And I thought “going green” was just an environmental trend…

SARA!!!! You have made amazing progress since my last visit! I like the green, although frankly when I hear Mulberry I think of a purply-red color….. We have been tearing out plumbing and installing new pipes & hot water heater & well reservoir & filter for the past few weeks. Home ownership is such a joy!!!!
Keep me posted – hope you’re having fun with the whole process! Pen
