Lake House exterior paint colors

Style at Home

While I am enjoying taking some time off, I came upon this photo of a lake house. I have been collecting inspiration photos of house exteriors to come up with a color scheme for my house that I want to eventually paint. This one is my favorite.

Here is my house before it was painted and shutters added. It doesn’t have any white trim and I think that is what I miss. I like white trim on a house. It makes the architectural features, pop! The siding, gutters, and the trim on my house are all painted the same color.

The colors fit well in the lakeside setting, but I want to add more interest. I am thinking of adding shutters to the upper doors. Probably in the same color as the railing.

I didn’t keep the green color. Instead I painted the house a khaki color.

Paris Letters

I really enjoyed it and just started the author’s new book. A Year in Paris.

A Year in Paris book

It is a different kind of read from the first, but as I read, I learned more and more about the City of Light that I never knew.

If you find you like her art as much as I do, you can see it here, It’s affordable!

It is summer. Do you have a bucket list of travel destinations? I do, I look forward to going, here someday. Have you been?

Could you Do This? I think maybe by myself I could, but not sure about doing it with children?

Do you get enough of this? I have been feeling Number 14 on this list a lot lately.
