Addie’s House as it looks today.
We are in the process of picking paint colors for Addie’s House. This process is made one gazillion times easier with the internet. A simple google search of: white house, silver metal roof and thousands of images pop before your eyes like magic.

For example, before seeing what a cream house with a metal roof looked like (above) it was something we were considering. After seeing the example we realized how much we prefer the sharp contrast of a white house against a green landscape as seen below.

My husband always like the underneath of a porch ceiling to be sky blue, but it was convenient to find this picture showing a blue ceiling with a white house and gray floor. Pretty much exactly what we were planning.

Final decision = white on white, gray floor (and stairs) with a hint of sky blue on the ceilings.
Now for the door….
Front door
I’ve heard it told that a sky blue porch ceiling wards off mosquitos…or was it flies? Either way, pretty and helpful. Love the choices.
