Re: House colors


I have a friend who lives in a turn-of-the-century three story home that
he's painted a dark forest green.  It has tan trim and embellishments are
done in a maroon.  Anything that he plants looks like it has a tall yew
hedge behind it.  I just love his colors!

I guess it depends on your home.  I wouldn't recommend a more modern house
in these colors, but it suits this house perfectly.  My sister has a brick
home trimmed in white.  Her home is shaded, so she has tons of hostas and
ferns.  The greens are lovely against the brick.  She also plants a lot of
white and pink to brighten up the shadier spots, so her home blends in well
with the garden.

My house is a gray stucco with pale yellow trim, so I can definitely second
Carleen's suggestion!
