I love my porch...
... but I need some help!
I absolutely LOVE my home. I love the color (perfect soft yellow). I love the trim (crisp white). More than anything, I LOVE my unobstructed, mountain valley views from my porch. I sit on my porch every chance I get! No kidding. The shade it provides in the late afternoons is perfect and the views it offers every other second of the day are stunning. BUT I NEED SOME HELP!! My porch is, simply stated- Boring. My front door- Bland. So that is the predicament. I am asking for a little advice, thoughts, brainstorming from all of my AMAZING friends... Right now the palette is bare but the potential is great. I know many of you are fabulously creative and have an eye for color... so help me!
I am thinking I want some colorful, pretty hanging baskets between the pillars. Don't forget the colors, what palette would you recommend, types of flowers etc.?
Now, for the door. I have been looking into a fresh shade of green... any opinons, I simply love apple green, but this may be a bit strong, maybe a muted tone of apple green? Your thoughts? Other colors, be it completely different than what I was thinking... I want to hear them all! Now is the time to sprout some creative thinking!
I take constructive criticism quite well :-) so please tell me your thoughts on the door color. Give me your opinion...

Jon told me about your blog. I hope it's okay if I read it. Wow this is your house? It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou don't need any help-you always come up with the cutest things ever. My vote is for lots of bright flowers and definately for sure an apple green door!
ReplyDeleteLove the house!!! You made it through all the stress..Yippee! Love it. I think you should do beautiful bright flowers. Just cause you know how I love bright colors.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I think anything RED would be so perfect for your house! I am partial to red though:) I love your house, it's so you, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteRed and green plants would be good together, maybe some chairs with red cushions. I'm no expert though!
Love your house! You are a fantastic decorator. I emailed you some pictures of your house with your door in 4 different colors.
