.......My House.
I love pink and green. They were the colors of my wedding. They are my favorite colors together or apart. But for some reason I just didn't want to live in a pink and green house. The brick on our house is pink. There's not much I can do about that. The shutters and doors were green. That I could change and despite my brothers protest,(He is more of an artist then I am and said that the green was complimentary to the pink brick.) I finally change the shutters and door to black this weekend.
I also changed lighting.
These fixtures were once on a garage at my parents lake house. My mom brought them to a yard sale I was having last year and I grabbed them.
The topiaries came from Giant and the apple green ceramic planters are from Target. I think they'll spend the winter in the sunroom.
(I don't know why the window looks so dirty. It was just cleaned today)
I do realize that I'm slowly turning this entire house black and white.
I think it looks crisp, classic, strong. I wonder what a color expert would say?
In other exciting news:
My sister-in-law is coming this weekend. I always have such a good time with her.
The lily pad got it's first bloom
and the Foxglove are exploding.

hi julie,
i ADORE a black and white house. one day i'll have one too.
i'm no color expert but i think it looks a zillion times better.
i love the green pots also. i happen to think that black and white and pea green are fantastic together.
i have 2 foxgloves that made an appearance so far. my fingers and toes are crossed that they survive.
