Painting: Help with Curb Appeal - unsure what color to paint shutters, door, etc

My house has a tin roof that is a burgundy shade, but I think burgundy door and shutters is overkill. Please help me figure out another color that will complement it. I am thinking black ...»

Home Maintenance & Repairs: Does anyone have any experience with Leafree?

My roofer is also recommending Rapidflow inserts but I am not convinced of their value.

    Thanks so much for your response, Paul. When you mention that you cleaned the gutter guards, ...»
    what specifically did you do to clean them? We too will have to clean the roof because pine needles accumulate up there, but neither my husband nor I are up for the job so we would have to hire someone. We'd also have to get someone to do the cleaning you referenced so I want to get an idea of how much effort it took to clean them. Also, the product sold on Amazon is called LeafsOut rather than LeafBlaster. Did you get the product you installed on your house from Amazon or from another retailer?

Finishing What I Started... Painting my Entry Doors

I have a bad, bad habit. I love coming up with home improvement and DIY projects around the house. I love started those projects and jump in head first, gung-ho. And then... I get ...»
frustrated. I run into problems. I run out of time. Such is the case with my front doors. A year and a half ago, I made the decision to paint them and started working on them, but never finished. Thanks to 'encouragement' from my husband and some gorgeous spring weather, I finally buckled down and finished what I started last week. I finally painted the doors in Benjamin Moore's Wythe Blue and got the front of the house finished and ready for spring! #MayProjects #DIY

Ingredients for a Summertime Front Porch:

It's not hard to create an oasis on a front or back porch -

1. round up a few comfy chairs or a lounge, maybe a swing. ...»

2. add a table to hold a glass.

3. pop in a few pillows and a splash of color in an accessory or two.

...and you have your OWN summertime retreat to enjoy!

Once upon a time, I lived in my dream house. And that dream house had a wide front porch that just said 'Summertime'... It was the perfect place to hang a swing, where I could sit and work or just relax. Add in a few patriotic decor details and a refreshing summer beverage, and it was truly my haven, my retreat. I enjoyed that porch in every season, but especially in summer!

These photos were included in my 'Sweet ReTreats' column in FOLK Magazine's Issue V, Summer 2012. #SummerStyle #OutdoorLiving
