At Ace of Gray, we know selecting paint colors for you home can seem like an easy decision, and it should be, but if you want a color that you’re going to love for a while instead of being sick of in a year… choosing the best color for you is crucial. Check out these quick tips to selecting the perfect color to paint your home.  

Be Yourself. When selecting a color to paint your home, follow your heart. You already know what colors you tend to favor before the selection process. Don’t sway from that, because you’ll probably regret the color change in a few months.

Be colorful. Stir clear of dark and dull colors. We are saying grab screaming yellow or neon green, but we don’t suggested selecting dark or colors that can easily appear to be dirty.

Stick with the color scheme. Select two or three colors you’d like to have around the home. One color for the base and another for the accent. This will avoid you having too many colors around the house.

Following these quick steps will help you select a color that you truly love. This way, hopefully, in a year you’ll still be in love with the color. This is all up to your opinion, however, we can’t make you not want to change it of course.

Fall showers are generally plentiful and pests and disease problems usually fade away in the fall, so the Spring isn’t the only time of year perfect gardening. You don’t need fertilizer, either, as fertilizer promotes new, tender growth that can be nipped by winter weather; so yes, Summer is in full effect, but soon Fall will be rolling in, and that means, gardeners will be getting ready for fall harvest. So, Ace of Gray has put together a list of crops perfect for planting in early August! Check them out.

• Cool season vegetables – Many vegetables including broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, lettuce, radishes, rutabaga, spinach, and Swiss chard thrive in cool weather.
• Trees and shrubs – Fall is a great time to plant trees and shrubs because the weather is cool, but the soil is still warm enough for root development.
• Pansies – The warm soil temperatures of the Fall also aid in root development for Pansies. Planting these flowers in the Fall gives you two seasons to enjoy them!
• Beans – Start planting both bush and pole beans now that the soil and air are warmed up. Try a continual 7-10 day sowing of different varieties. This will give you continual bean crops and not one large harvest with wasted crop. Early August is the last practical sowing date.

Summer is in full effect now, but when the leaves start to change colors and Fall starts knocking at your door, remember that Fall doesn’t mean gardening has to stop. There’s still plenty to plant!
