The ...This is a comment for your noncommital side. The shutters and door can change color easily! As long as you can live with your siding and trim color, you are going to be fine.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the garage door - Isn't there something about contrasting colors attracting attention to the space? I think your choice should take into consideration how much attention you want your garage door to have and also whether it and the front door are visible together. Traditionally, one focal point visible from any angle is ideal. <BR/><BR/>This is just mho. We painted our 1885 Greek Revival farmhouse this summer and it is all fresh in my mind. I talked to Sherwin Williams. Bought sample paints. Painted color combinations all over the back and side of the house. And still changed my mind when the professionals started putting paint up. Luckily I was committed to the side and trim - it was accent I had trouble with! Anyhoo, because it was the accent color they didn't quit.<BR/><BR/>Good Luck with your color choices!Molly LaLonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15951726399940698368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382356424352768402.post-30920179583107249782009-02-06T19:51:00.000-05:002009-02-06T19:51:00.000-05:00im a little too obsessed with color too so i went ...im a little too obsessed with color too so i went back and inspected the pics again! i also like the darker siding and agree that the curry door would look even better with that! i think the garage door should be black since the garage will prob also have khaki trim on it anyway right? then the black shutters will make even more sense. ok i'm done!Abbi Togtmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07780178893524006694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382356424352768402.post-86820912742464270482009-02-06T19:42:00.000-05:002009-02-06T19:42:00.000-05:00I love the idea of black shutters, khaki trim, iro...I love the idea of black shutters, khaki trim, iron gray siding, and the curry door! LOVE that idea. I think it would look great. I especially love the pop of color on the door and the black shutters. It sounds really classy but with a unique twist!Abbi Togtmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07780178893524006694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382356424352768402.post-40685479217380651502009-02-03T17:13:00.000-05:002009-02-03T17:13:00.000-05:00I love the darker of the two pics you posted (the ...I love the darker of the two pics you posted (the shop in Saugatuck). I love the darker siding with the khaki trim. But the more gray siding looked good, too. I think the curry door would look better with the darker siding... and I definitely think khaki for the garage door. :) You asked for opinions! Here are mine. But undoubtedly anything you choose will look fantastic. You have style oozing out of you!Susan Downinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07230911770263957138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382356424352768402.post-37485666407836362792009-02-03T10:53:00.000-05:002009-02-03T10:53:00.000-05:00I love, love the siding color- love it!

It's hard to picture a curry door- maybe you could post the color! Love your ideas!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05713857507329979660noreply@blogger.com
