Yeah, ok, you win.
SO. Now that it isn't selling I can really HAVE SOME FUN. But where to start?? I'm going to post a different room with each post - and let you guys tell me what you see going in there. Or if my ideas rock or if they just won't work.
If i had to define my style - it's coastal living - which is appropriate since i'm in Florida. INLAND, but Florida. Also, i lean towards cottage - not formal, not tuscan, not french country. Simple, coastal style.
Should we start with the front door? Here is a pic of my 'cottage'. I really don't like the color. ick. I LOVE the line of the roof. I hate my WHITE front door. I don't like the "Florida vernacular" style - but i think i can 'fix' it. LOL.
Here is a pic of house, somewhat similar (if you tilt the computer on it's side and then look) that has shutters - making it somewhat coastal/mediterranean. I LOVE that. I think i can do that on the right window. My windows are slightly arched - but they make those plank shutters arched too - so that would be kind of cool, no? As far as the color of house - i REALLY love the idea of a pale PALE blue (kind of a muddy blue) and brown shutters.
So, tell me, my virtual friends - yes, no, different ideas?

First off, paint your front door BLACK or dark dark brown ....
Period -- end of discussion.
Ours was white -- we painted the house, well, you saw it, dark brown, cream trim, BLACK front door. Good feng sui too
with the peach paint???? i def am painting the door - and was going dark brown/black - but what house color??
Oh pretty house!
The peach doesn't bother me (possibly because there are no pastel colored houses where I live), but the door does need to be darker.
Overall I like the direction you are going with that second picture - I love that!
Well, you could paint just the door a stand-out blue color - or paint the house a light blue and the door a nice, dark blue. Sounds divine to me. While I like the blue/brown combo, I think it's on its way out. Not that I follow fashion at all when I decorate. But I like the idea of blue/dark blue or blue/white. I just love blue!
Oh, and I like the shutters idea as well. It makes the house a little homier.
Oh sorry - I forgot to comment on the house color -- the sandy blue would be pretty (almost a gray) but our house was PEACH too ... ask V ... and we painted it the prettiest brown from Sherwin Williams .. it was like getting a new house! LOVES IT!
