After painting different shades of yellow on the rear of their house the Shapiros’ determined that Benjamin <br />Moore’s Hawthorn Yellow works the best. Mrs. Shapiro is also considering adding color to the house details, but will not <br />decide until the painting has begun. The commission cautioned Mrs. Shapiro that adding color to the details might be too <br />much for this house. If the Shapiros’ decide to paint the details, The Commission members have to see how all the colors <br />look as a whole before approving. The front stairs might be painted or the materials changed in either case the commission <br />would have to approve. <br />The light fixtures on either side of the front door are being removed and a star pendant light will be installed.
