The decisions don’t want to stop. And as a “thank-you” for surviving this blog’s 174 prior posts (!), we’d like to invite you to participate in the grand (mis) adventure called “Dash Landing.”
We need your help picking a front door color.
Through the magic of horrible photoshop skills, you’ll see four choices below. You’ll also find a handy poll. As an added bonus, we’ve included another shot of the whole complex just to remind you that there’s a lot of red sitting right next to the white house :
1. Barnstable Red – As most of you know, this is also the color of the garage / barn thingy. Painting the door this color would be a nice visual connection between the two buildings. And — for the practical among us — makes buying paint a breeze.
2. Natural – No paint on this one. We’d just polyurethane the door and let it be natural wood. Simple, classy, nice.
3. Historical Blue – Just for kicks, we put the Barnstable Red of the garage / barn thingy through an on-line color palette generator. This is one of the “complimentary color” suggestions that popped up.
4. WestonFlax – Another nice suggestion from a trusted source. A bit of a “historical” angle here. (And the real color is a bit darker than what is shown below.)
Please vote today. And vote often.
If not the red or natural, what about navy?
Hadn’t thought about navy. The windows and all the hardware is a “dark bronze,” so we’re a bit worried about a dark color (like navy) would blend.
The Red looks nice.
That’s great red!
Thanks. Seems to be a custom color that Cabot Stains makes up for Maibec (The shingle / board & batten manufacturer) “Barnstable Red.” Can’t find it in their catalog, but all the touch-up cans that were included in the shipment were from Cabot.
