I know it's not for everyone, but the deep purple/blue with magenta trim really is spectacular when this garden is in bloom.  The roses and the bougainvillea mirror the color on the house and the green foliage frames it all.

Red!

Red is such a bold choice and yet when you see it in real life it doesn't scream at you. The white trim with the brown detailing is very elegant.

Red seems the appropriate choice for a barn shaped house with a white picket fence, charming.

Blue and White


Simple, clean and elegant. Blue and white with a snappy red door.

They used to have a yellow door which I also liked, it was a little more unusual and brighter.


Another variation of blue and white with red door this time with a lighter, grayer blue body. Using the deep gray for the garage level make a nice yet subtle contrast between main floor and basement level.



This time the blue heads towards teal. The orangey red interior trim gives the whole look a fun twist.

Green again

Another cute, green body, creamy white exterior trim and rusty red interior trim house. This time though, it's a stucco.  The is a color combo that works well on all sorts of houses.

Green

A different sort of green body house, a lovely mossy green. The crisp white exterior trim looks clean and the red interior adds an element of fun. All the colors work well with the slate steps.
If you have clad window that are stuck one color, you don't have to give up on a great paint job. The creamy beige outer trim looks great with the white interior trim. The deep green body color gives the house a solid, rich look. Love it.

Unexpected

Every time I drive by this house I find myself doing a double take. The body is a very standard gray - greenish color, what catches my eye is the unexpected combo of the acid green and cobalt blue. I love it.

Nice paint and shingle combo. Very crisp with the white trim and dark green interior trim.



I used to drive by this house all the time. The sellers did a great job on the paint.  Love the rusty red door, the greenish tan body and the trim... nice trim!
