So the other day my landlord calls up and says he just bought a new property. He wanted me to go over and take a look at it to help him pick out some colors for the outside of the house. It's that hardiplank siding I believe, and it is kind of a drab, yucky gray right now. It's a cute house, small, nestled in the trees, with a large front porch and a front door with lots of windows.
So I went to Lowes and picked out some colors for him - I gave him 2 options. I hope he picks one so that I can see my choices in real life!
The colors I picked were a creamy yellow for the house, with a lighter yellow on the window trim and a pretty royal blue color for the front door.
The second option was a kind of sea green color, with a lighter version for the window trim. And a dark cranberry for the front door.
For the porch, I recommended that he power wash the whole thing - living in the woods causes all that mildewy stuff to grow on things. And then I think he should stain and seal the porch. It looked pretty new and in good shape.
What colors would you have picked out? I like the green/cranberry color best. I hope he goes with that one. :)

Either one would look nice. When you wrote blue and yellow I said, ah, that's nice, but the second is great too. I'd even do a plum door on either of the color choices.
