We're only half done, but I can't wait one more minute to share...
Before...
And After....

| Note all the high points are unpainted. Fear of heights in our house, perhaps? |
 |
| This poor poor door has been painted so many times. Soon to be replaced with a Crestview. |
Colours:
Body/Trim: Cloverdale Paint - Colour match to Benjamin Moore Wrought Iron (Flat for body, Satin for trim)
Door: Pratt & Lambert - eeek!! Can't find the paint chip. I'll update when I find it.
Still a couple weeks of painting left, including the garage. And since I'm so indecisive with doors, add a few more weeks for countless colour trials. I'm not totally sure what to do with the soffits in the interim. White is whack so we're pondering removing the aluminum to reveal the original plywood soffits. Or just paint?
We're completely in love with the final results.
I'll post some pictures of future plans for the porch.

UPDATE: Door colour - Pratt & Lambert Delightful Aqua 22-7

I love the color, good luck with the door , can't wait to see some indoor pics
Thanks Tanya! Yeah, I've got to figure out this door colour...
Looks great, Laura! Did you notice a difference in how hot your house feels? I would love to paint my house black, but worried it will feel much warmer in the summer? Please let me know!
We have fairly wide overhangs and good ventilation inside. And it's Calgary. It doesn't really get very hot here. I did noticed that when Jason was in the middle of painting the house, that those plants against the black were much more robust than those against the white. So in a nutshell, yes, the house is definitely absorbing more heat.
