Thanks KimberlyH ... love the pale, icy lilac door in the original photo but haven''t been able to find that exact color yet. That''ll be my NEXT go round of samples. The people at SW will think I''m a (low class) LOON.Date: 10/7/2009 9:21:24 AM

Deco, I am LOVING Plummy (and would absolutely paint my house purple, if it were the right style home; how lowbrow of me). I think the red door is fun, but actually prefer the lilac door.
I agree with Neat, so I''d do the purple with the red door, and I go either cream or white on the shutters.Date: 10/7/2009 12:47:01 AM

Deco I love those purples. And personally I think your house is already going to attract only certain buyers. And IMO those kind of buyers won''t be afraid of the purple and might just love it. I do!
love this!!!Date: 10/7/2009 10:38:09 AM

Love the purple idea. I think it would look smashing. Several years ago on an episode of This Old House they used pumpkin on a house and it was really nice. A warm & inviting look.
Hi Crown1 ... yes, that pumpkin house is amazing. And its certainly tempting at this time of year in the Northeast - because it matches the fall scenery.Date: 10/7/2009 11:36:24 AM

you are probably not an orange person since you haven''t commented on this picture. i had not thought about orange but after seeing this pic i think maybe a burnt orange would go with the green you already have on the shutters. good luck on whatever you choose and i would love to see the finished project.Date: 10/6/2009 8:42:58 PM

eta: my mistake, i see you did comment on the pumpkin color.
I was just thinking of that last night! We have two "front doors" ... one opens into a medium green room & one opens into a red room. I think that color green would work with the INTERIORS they'd be in sometimes. AND work with the cottage-ish container garden/ cottage garden we have around both entrances. Groovy combo!Date: 10/7/2009 12:22:41 PM

Green door?
Good idea ... I just finished the 2nd coat on all the colors & they''re drying. Probably won''t have sun today to take more exterior shots but its supposed to be sunny tomorrow. Maybe I''ll do a new poll with new pictures if the pictures look different w/the 2nd coat -- or with these pictures if they don''t look different.Date: 10/7/2009 3:17:44 PM

Maybe you should open up a new poll with those colors Deco!
