No More Imagining

I no longer have to try imagining what a redwood stained house with aqua/ blueish trim would look like. The woman who grew up in the house sent me a photo of the framed architect's rendering of the house.


Hmm, it's not quite as crazy looking as I was imagining. I wonder if there is any way this could work in 2013. I actually found this webpage where someone is trying to figure out how to keep the turquoise doors on their house and make them work.

  1. Huh. Yeah, I don't think I'd go back to aqua. Maybe a forest green wood work with redwood?

  2. Ooh, that's a good idea! Maybe a forest green with a bit of a blue cast to it. If that makes sense. I like the way in the original drawing the long thin wood panels on the windows are natural wood instead of painted like they are now. It is amazing how that little bit of a difference really does something with your eye.
