California house exterior paint suggestions please!
Comments (188)The cosmos will look great and is so easy, and you could add some poppies too, they are easy to sow as well and just like cosmos, if you leave some go to seed, they will come back again and again. It's also fun to buy a wildflower mix appropriate for sun or shade, which ever you have and just be surprised by the riotous mix of whatever shows up and all the butterflies that come to visit. You can get the seed type, or the type that looks like dust bunnies (for real!) that you scatter over your lawn and water in very well, or the kind that looks like a fuzzy shelf-lining that you roll out over your lawn or wherever you want your flowers to come up and water that in well....See MoreWhat exterior color should replace the Dark Green?

Comments (18)Here is what we decided on! The original inspiration of the previous owner were the country houses of Spain where he previously lived. Think of Andalusia Spain in the hillsides with gorgeous views, vineyards and horses etc. so I went with a more subdued color palette, working with the nature that surrounds our ranch; oak trees, olive trees, vineyards etc. Dark brown stain on large beams, taupe paint under eaves and Farrow and Ball Green Smoke on windows and garage doors. It turned out better than I could have dreamed. Thank you for all your input! This was fun and so gratifying!...See Morelindacottonwood
