Oh Good. I want to dominate my happy home. With my three oldest girls now young adults and my wife and a girl dog, I need every ounce of suport I can get. My sons getting older helps, but our red doors will ice the cake. I am conpletely in charge now!

THanks for all the feedback and suggestions. We decided to keep it beige but just searching for the perfect shade (maybe BM bleeker beige) and maybe tweaking the trim color to warm it up a little (maybe dove white or decorator's white) and possibly adding a red door. Yes-we have lots of original features and built-ins inside the house (along with 3 fireplaces which we love). What a great forum!

I looked at the picture and your roof looked white. I guess to match your yard? Around here we all have green yards. I have never seen a white yard before. I have seen a white roof.

This last one in the curb appeals section on the Benjamin Moore page...using "little falls" as the siding color might look nice.
Here is the link http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/f...or-curb-appeal. I would not consider red....We live on a street w/ tons of turn of the century homes....Reds never look good....no offence to folks that like them.
Try this....You can actually make your house various colors and see which you truly like. http://www.valsparpaint.com/en/explo...=painterScreen
