Suggestions, Please

Okay - so one of my spring projects is to get my front porch looking decent. I need to re-paint the trim for sure and possibly the door. I'd like some color in there some where, but I'm coming up blank on what to do. Here are a couple of pictures of my front door. What colors do you think would look good with my brick and siding colors? Suggestions, please!




Pay no attention to the dented rain gutter. My poor FIL fell off the roof while helping DH put up the Christmas lights this past year. Don't worry - he was okay.
Also, please notice the little head poking out of the front door! :) I'd like to have the garage door and trim correspond with the front door too. What do you think?

Maybe a dark chocolate brown would be nice or even a tan! I don't really know that was just the first thought that popped into my head! I am glad to see you didn't forget blogging altogether! lol

what about a red that would match your roof (at least from what i can tell on the second picture on top of the garage) or a navy blue. that would look nice with the read brick. just my first thoughts when i saw the photos. i am excited to see what you choose to do.

I vote deep dusty blue, sage green, or brick red. I'm all for cool colored doors . . . not that I've even painted my white one yet!

I vote for big, bright polka dots!!! Then you can do big splashes all over on top of that -very Dr. Seuss looking. Hey, your little one peeking out the door could help!:)

I am decorating impaired, anything I would sugest would look like a monkey did it. But cute house though.

i am really thinking dark blue.... still! seriously, as i am driving around looking at houses i keep thinking about your front door, and i think a dark blue would look great!

I think a cranberry red would look cute. But a red garage would be a bit of a task and would it look good? That's a hard question. It's one of those things that isn't easily redone if you don't like it. Maybe Just drive around and see what pops out at ya. ???? That was probably no help at all.

I am definitely not the person to ask on this. I have a fear of decorating! And thanks for your comment on my blog. I guess I'll have to think about doing a post on photography, although you have to remember, I really don't know what I'm doing!! Seriously, it's just trial and error I guess. A few things I can say...I hate flash. It's ugly. :) I always try to use natural light, and light from a North facing window is GORGEOUS for indoor shots. And I touch up everything in Photoshop. I am getting pretty anal about it and can't stand doing at least a little bit of touch up in PS. If I think of more things, maybe I'll post them. Thanks, though!! TAke care!
