I'd say they could paint everything but the swing in white and the swing in red. What about a combo of sky blue and white? Or perhaps white and yellow? I think that any of these combinations would work. They'd bring life to the porch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698461140157771343.post-39535480097555154642008-09-04T20:54:00.000-07:002008-09-04T20:54:00.000-07:00Thanks, everyone for the suggestions on color.

It's been fun (and a LOT of work) to do the repairs and repainting following the tornado. I've got a deck to build on the back.<BR/><BR/>So, if your're passing through Jackson, Mississippi, stop on by and we'll sit a spell on the porch and enjoy a glass of icy Dr. Pepper (or coffee if you insist). But before long, we have to get up, grab the paint brush and get busy!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Rachel, for sharing our story. We love you.

I like the rails the color they are. Maybe paint the steps the floor color and the door the brick color.<BR/><BR/>It would be fun to have one of those computer programs where you can change the color and see all the different looks before you paint.psehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389025864326926757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698461140157771343.post-39440004090535949452008-09-03T20:39:00.000-07:002008-09-03T20:39:00.000-07:00WHat a fabulous porch.

I...Uncle Ray and Aunt Dee have such a pretty house! I love their wrap-around porch, too. My question is: does the color need to go with the rest of the color scheme? Or might that be changing, too? The sensible choice, of course, is white. But wouldn't the house be pretty in sage green, too?Karla Cook @ Roads to Everywherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00902429832411315003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698461140157771343.post-51187802964054840462008-09-03T16:43:00.000-07:002008-09-03T16:43:00.000-07:00What a beautiful house and porch!
