    Michele...I love the colors and applaud your choice. The black trim really makes a statement and shows creativity. My neighbor painted all her inside doors black and they look great. Sometimes, we have to think outside the box. When we moved into our home 14 yrs. ago, it was a sunshiney yellow and we decided to paint it Sahara Sun. We got some odd looks from the neighbors, but I'm glad recently people have become braver and you see more colors on homes other than the beige, whites etc. Can't wait to see it after landscaping.

    Orchidrain, I just looked up your house color, and I think mine is kind of similar. SW Reddish :) It shocked me at first, but with landscaping etc it is awesome. Been over a year now and I love it.

    Jaja...I like that color also. Like you, I was somewhat shocked at first, but it's grown on me and I'm glad we did it.

    You've done well! Love the color contrast, and it brings a bit of the west Eastward. Keep it the way it is.

    Looks cool and unique but most important opinion is yours. Enjoy!

    I actually really like it! We went with a white board and batten and it's been the worst decision ever due to living in the country (dirt, bugs, spiders, etc.). When it's time to repaint, I may go dark with ours.

    Our neighbors went white

    Inside look

    Difficult to comment on accent color without more info. Will you have an area rug? What colors do you like (besides red and green)? I love the blue but does it relate to anything else in the room/home? I might look for a rug that will pull the wall and sofa color together, or a print on chairs to do the same thing if you're going with a plain rug.

  • 4 years ago

    There is no blue…it’s green

  • 4 years ago

    I meant the blue chair you posted as an option.

  • 4 years ago

    Oh gotcha, yeah going with the cream/white one

  • 4 years ago

    Everyone's computer screen is different so colors will not read the same on each monitor.

    Everyone has a color/style. I love red trucks. A red house, no thank you.lA red barn of course. The color of the house hmmmm no. The roof- are you in a co)d, medium or hot climate? I would not want that color in the south or west. It might be ok in cold north winters. Also dark color depending on material fade and deterioration of some materials. Not all.

    Your the one that needs to be happy with it.

    The ones by the fireplace

    That green on the interior is just as yummy as the red on the outside. I hope you'll keep updating this thread, esp as you get the landscape in place. Are you loving living there? I know I would!

  • 4 years ago

    Very nice. Not what I would have chosen but very nice nonetheless. Congrats!

    Yes your exterior is unique but you went trendy with grays for your interior?

  • 3 years ago

    Looks more green on my screen inside? But grey is nice and neutral. Who cares if it’s popular?
