Cool house.

well obviously white, with porch ceiling done in the 'haint'' blue color

blues//whites/soft grays

I'd for sure do the cedar wrapped posts.

I like the white w/black trim. I know you have white windows, but could you do a dark trim anywhere?

I actually love the super dark board and batten w/the white windows.

Thank you Beth!, I like the dark colors with the white trim and have made a list of Hale Navy, Polo Blue, Witching Hour, and Sherwin Williams Deep Ocean and Black Fox. The white is nice and I tried a sample of Pure White on the siding but it seemed to flatten the house and also will hide all of the trim. I was thinking dark on the outside and light on the inside of the home. Another reason dark might be nice is that it is in an area with tons of red clay! I also like a deep red with white trim but I think the deep blues and charcoal blues are richer and more current what do you think? Thank you so much for your opinions, you have great photos to share!

I love Witching Hour! and Deep Ocean.

this one too

I personally love the dark colors. I think it looks great against nature and the surrounding trees.

look at SW Jasper. it's a super dark green. with some wood elements, copper lights/hardware, that would be very pretty too.

Crisp Romaine works well on a lakehouse.

Thank decoenthusiaste I love your choices and will try samples!

We are doing a dark green with cedar accents on our lake house so I love deco's suggestion! 😉 The inside is lighter but with some green and cedar repeated. There's a black one across from us that's really cool looking with wood accents, and a new black one with white trim and bright red farm house lights for accents. Last summer I counted 7 houses that were dark blue with white trim and 1 white farmhouse style with black windows. The rest are unique but older. If you're able I would for sure go around and see what is popular then do something else. Can't wait to see it!
