P.S. I also love that God even cares about the littlest details, like giving you a porch cat to top it all off!

Oh my goodness, Tori – your house is absolutely beautiful inside and out!! I would just walk through it every day admiring and running my fingers over everything. Seriously! I love to see how God has blessed you and your family. It was worth the wait and He knew best all along. *happy smiles* Ask my opinion on decoration, style, and color? Ms. Tori, you are so good that I don’t believe you need one smidgen of advice!

Wow! Its a beautiful house.

For what its worth, I would lean towards the emerald green and peacock blue. I’m usually a more subdued pastel kind of girl but on the outside of a gorgeous house, I think bold is the way to go … also (practically) I think it’ll weather better. You’d be having to repaint a light colour pretty much every year!

I decided it would be easier to tell you what I DON’T like. I pored over the photos and,…nope,…love it all! (That woodwork–breaking that covet commandment as we speak!)

OK, maybe the boxwoods are a little TOO perfect! (LOL!)

Gracious, Alyson, , I had no idea there was anything like that available on the Internet…else I would have been spending hours at a time there.

I love colors, but I suspect I am more conservative in my thoughts…because my mind went only to one color for the trim: Williams burg Blue.

However, I honestly do appreciate more boldness when the job is done. My daughter, Joan, is very adventurous with color in her home and it looks fantastic; but if I told you the combinations and all she did, it would sound impossible that it would work so well together.

Sweet Tori, your home is beautiful…inside and out. And that magnificent lamp on the bottom of the stairs banister is unbelievedly perfect for just that position in the entrance.I love your home…I love your town…and I love you. and yours. Those pups are adorable. Shucks, I even like that cat.

OK, you probably already know this, but, there are places on-line that you can experiment with paint colors for your house. I PORED over colors for weeks just to paint our shutters and doors. Some even have sites where you can upload a photo of your house and virtually try out exterior paint colors. I think Valspar is one, will check right now. Some sites just have a place where you can choose your style of house (Victorian, cottage,etc.) and try out a whole palette of colors if you’re starting from scratch. I’ve spent entire lifetimes looking for paint colors for both indoors and exterior colors, even though our house is brick, because sometimes something that sounds like a great idea doesn’t transfer all that well from my brain to reality. Such as that pumpkin color we all thought was great for the entrance and upstairs hallway. Yes, to the entrance; hallway, not so much.

I. LOVE. POCKET. DOORS!!! And you got ‘em, Girl!!! Lucky!

The house is beautiful and classy! You’re having fun, aren’t ya?

As for color, I vote for emerald green, peacock blue, and a dark gold. Can’t wait to see it all painted up! (Or, as you said, “tarted up”! LOL )

Being very familiar with this house long before it was renovated, all I can is WOW! I walked through the house just before they started the renovations, but I missed the opportunity to walk through afterwards. I am so glad you are going to paint the trim! I have no doubt whatever colors you choose it’ll be gorgeous. I love the Victorian homes in Bell Buckle and many have been through a bit of a renaissance in the past few years. I noticed your new patio furniture cushions! I still need some…or new furniture all together. I drive by your home almost daily since I have to get to get to Shelbyville from Covered Bridge. All the little touches have warmed up the area so much. No doubt it will inspire your neighbors. Again, welcome to the neighborhood! Hopefully one day we’ll actually get to meet.
