When else in your whole entire life will you have a chance to paint a house pink? My dear Theresa, you have been presented with an opportunity.
(If you were going the Miami Vice route, you’d go with a light teal on the shutters.) Leave the garage door and trim white. Take a look at 811 Old Glory or 2034-30 Grassy Fields for these. Then I suggest a darker-than-you’d-expect-for-Florida blue or yellower-than-you’d-expect-for-Florida green for the shutters and front door. So consider a creamy yellow such as Benjamin Moore’s 290 Butter or 289 Pale Moon for the main color. Hmmm…a universally appealing color…like yellow.
To bridge the distance between what you want (“cottage chic”) and what your neighbors may want (“Miami Vice”), I suggest using a universally appealing color on the stucco and then adding a cottage-y color on the shutters and front door. And then I have two color solutions: tame and bossy. That grey isn’t exactly uplifting, is it? Definitely add shutters to that front window. (The hundred bucks? SUPER tacky.) So while I can’t even imagine how crushed you must feel right now, good for you for taking action. In addition to being cruel and insensitive, that was just a tacky way to leave. Theresa, first of all, I am HORRIFIED by your husband’s behavior. I love the “cottage living” look but you don’t find a lot of “cottage type” houses in the more rural area of Ocala, Florida… Thank you for your time. I am hoping you can help me find a color for my new home… While it is a typical “stucco type” home that you find in Florida – I would like to warm it up, make it appear less contemporary, and perhaps add shutters. My husband walked out on me, literally, about ten months ago (leaving our lovely new home I had just finished redecorating and $100 on the counter) and I’m in the position now where I need to rebuild my life, hence the purchase of this new house on a “short sale” and my move back to Florida. I currently live in Dayton, Ohio and am relocating to Florida. Q: Hi Annie – I’m taking a leap of faith by contacting you.
