Now I'm contemplating paint colors. Here are four possible schemes, painted on the shed. I've laid them out one by one below after this introductory picture, in the order going from left to right. Please pick your favorite. The colors don't really come across accurately on the computer screen, of course...
Each option is in the following order from left to right: window sashes, window trim, walls. The sashes are very dark in the manner of lots of traditional cottages I've looked at; the dark color will contrast with the white shades inside the house so you can really see the six over six window detail, which you really can't right now; the white sashes disappear on the house right now.
#1: Green walls, light green trim (looks more like cream here) and teal sashing
#2 Same walls and trim but with a bluer version of the teal sashing. It's my current favorite:
#3 A subdued "agave" blue with cream trim and off-black sashing:
#4 A lighter blue wall with the same trim & sashing (see group picture for a sense of how different these blues really are):

I don't know though, the more I look at it the more I am loving the #3 option. You just have to decide if you want earth or sky.
The front door is so fun-- all of it looks soo soo good. For deck feedback, don't know if you already made a decision, but I kind of like the staircase one. It looks so pleasing to the eye. The other just kind of looks like a ... deck. But, it would be nice to have somewhere to put a table or something so you could eat out there or BBQ or whatnot.
excited to see what happens next!
Hi Mol,
I like your choice too!
We used a great natural oil finish over stain in our house, if you are interested I will send you the name. It might work on your doors.
