I can't remember where I read the story and don't know how they got their information, but I once read that if you designed your own home exactly the way you wanted it, you would have to design and build 7 before you got one that you were completely satisfied with. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

What's really neat about a 'white house' /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif, it's like starting with a blank canvas. They remind me of early Americana.

I like the rich, red colored door. A colored sidewalk could be used to draw the eye in.

White houses lend themselves to patriotic themes...... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

For a more subtle effect. A natural colored sidewalk. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Bmac, Is their plans for a circular drive?

TBDonnley,
Youa ae a hoot! Love, jsut LOVE the rooster weather vein. Hope Bmacs wife puts that on his Christmas list. It is GREAT!!!!!!

 

[rox]

all right, I wasn't gong to ask but now that you have added the weather vein, if you still feel like having fun, could you kindly add window boxes under the windows on the wings and fill the window boxes with pink gereniums? The window boxes should be the same color as the shutters, that match the brick.

Also what would you think fo a nice marten (martin) house on a pole some where in your green grass? Might not work would have to see it. I totally will understand if you are getting tired of the game....

Ok Rox, Here goes...

I didn't have gereniums, so I used amaryllis's. I also did not have a Marten bird house however....I substituted an ostrich instead. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Uh....TB? I don't think that's a purple martin. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Almost wet my pant and had to run to the bathroom when I saw the ostrich. Came back and am still belly laughing as I write this.

Too bad you couldn't find pink geraniums, but I guess with the ostrich on the lawn it kind of takes your eye away from what color flowers are in the window boxes.

BMAC, now you know we are all jsut having fun, with all the serious help we have offered in these many months you surley won't bgrudge us a little 'ole (well in fact a rather large) ostrich will you?

 

[bmac]

I would prefer an emu. And, no cats - I just got rid of 2 (humanely, of course).

Don, with the patriotic theme going on, could you change this scene to a night sky and put in some 4th of July fireworks?

See, rox, I'm having fun with this as well.
