How to Un-70's Our Home

There is no denying it. Our house rocks the 1970's harvest gold color in almost every room of the house. Including the outside.

It is as if they painted the outside and said, "You know what? Let's just coordinate the tile in BOTH bathrooms, the countertop and backsplash in the kitchen, and the linoleum floor to match!

Pretty much, we have the ugly house in the neighborhood. It is depressing. Next summer, our goal is to paint the outside of the house. The ONE THING I want is a red front door. And I really wanted a gray house.

Then C noticed our house has a really, really brown roof. And we both think that a gray house would look silly with a brown roof.

Then, I came across The NewlyWoodwards blog and I fell in love. This is their house:

Brown roof. Red door (and lots of fun red accessories). And LOVE the color.

I am hoping to use this as my inspiration next summer when the time comes to decorate our humble abode.
