image: Elle Decoration (maybe UK?)

I've had this image tacked up on my inspiration wall for about 2 years. It's one of the few images that hasn't been taken down and filed. I should have remembered it when we struggled to figure out house paint colors last spring.

Somehow the cabinhouse just doesn't take well to bold exterior colors. It's small, square and old. White suits its simplistic nature.

The front of our house is now white. This year we'll paint the sides and back to match. (This image reminds me of the scene in the Anne of Green Gables miniseries when Anne walks across the roof and falls off. Maybe that's why I love it so much. I loved that movie.).

It reminds me of that scene in Anne of Green Gables too! I admit that I actually bought the Anne of Green Gables + Anne of Avonlea dvd box set a few years ago and have watched the series a few times since. It's still so, so good.
