Cottage House Curb Appeal

Saturday, June 18, 2011

A friend of mine owns the cutest cottage and is in the process of working on the curb appeal of this little gem. The house is brick and painted in white. So, the question is how do you bring appeal to a home like this without breaking the budget. The answer I believe is in the details. I set out in search of inspiration and found the following. 

And what do all of these have in common?


Well color of course! Here we have mustard yellow and green and black. Divine!


And a touch of red!

Red and more mustard yellow!

Enter green accents with a more subdued yellow!

A beautiful and striking painted front door! I love the impact and the character it adds with just a simple punch of color! 
Not many folks would have the courage to use such striking colors, so the following palettes from Benjamin Moore do offer a more subdued effect while still delivering impact.

So what do you think? Would you have the courage to paint your door a bright and spirited color?
