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...

  2. You 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!

  4. For 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!
    Red and green plants would be good together, maybe some chairs with red cushions. I'm no expert though!
