Comments (15)kristinamaria and teacats, you are on the same wavelength. I think I will do that... find the fabric first. And teacats, I absolutely LOVE THAT FABRIC. Seriously, I LOVE it!! I am going to go back to that site in a minute and see about a sample. Thanks for linking that. I luv my GW friends. :o) You all are so helpful. Each person has something to share that I had not thought of/had not realized. Thanks for sharing all of your advice. I'm going to find the fabric and see if I can get my green in the fabric, and then I think I'll go with whatever blue the "experts" have put in the fabric. I'm just not the best with paint colors. Thanks! ;o) mrsrose, I am headed out the door in a few minutes, but will post a few kitchen shots on here later today for you to see. Thanks for the compliments from you and lindybarts too. ;o)...See MorePlease help me choose exterior paint colors for Ocala block house
Comments (4)I'm in agreement with you that for your situation something of low contrast would be best. You could have the shutters more or less match the house color (or even go ligher, say a cream color) or a soft green with yellow tones to it. I would let the landscaping provide the color (and I'm so hoping you're not doing grass in your tropical environment) and let it be the lush counterpoint to your cool-looking light colored house. I think it would be beautiful....See MoreHelp me choose a paint color for my home.
Comments (39)Sorry, just cannot understand the all-out negative attitude on painted brick. Yes, certainly older (and some newer) brick is quite lovely and shouldn't be painted, but hasn't anyone seen the hideous beige/brown or pink/brown brick? Some brick just isn't pretty, people! Lots of houses, at least in the South, from the 60s and 70s had that yucky brick, and they can really be brought into the 21st century with paint. That said, Melanie's brick isn't ugly, but I do think painting it would make for a more cohesive and uniform facade....See MorePlease help me choose a color for my stucco home.
Comments (20)ok, since everyone is on you over the box size, I made them a little larger for you. maybe double them and center them under the window. they do look better larger. I also gave you proper Craftsman style numbers. You could choose a diff location. as for the color of that first pic, I gave you some close options for that grayish green hue Choose one of the darker greens for some accent contrast, and maybe a warmer Autumn type color for the door. Or you could do this accent color on the porch like a chair , bench, or even a porch floor or ceiling color. don't forget some ceramic pots in the copper color or better yet, window boxes!...See MoreRelated Professionals
