Should I repaint these birdhouses?

This project is not completed yet, so I thought I would ask for Hometalker’s opinions. I’m rather stumped. Should I repaint the green birdhouses another color, if so, what color? It seems to me like too much green. Also, the red barn seems to be the wrong shade of red... I really love the flowers and would rather not change them. Ok, let’s hear color suggestions and bonus points for attaching pictures depicting given colors. Thank you in advance for your suggestions!
Do you like them angled abit?
Or facing straight forward?
Oh my word, those are adorable! I like that red color but that's just personal opinion, right?
I like them angled a bit like in the first picture. I might paint the smaller green one white instead of green. But really, they look great as they are
I like them, too! The red looks great, but, you could add another shade of red, maybe by dry brushing it on. Sometimes when I'm not happy with a color, that gives it enough depth to change my mind. As soon as I saw your picture, I remember thinking "I wish one was all blue and one was yellow". But, they are adorable as they are. Good luck and stay safe!

Hi Stacy, I think it looks great, but if you aren't happy with it repaint it bright orange or yellow. Good luck
My opinion - yes to brighter color red on the red barn to match your flowers. I would take the small birdhouse and reverse the colors - green roof and blue house. And yes, I liked them "aged"!
They look really cute
Angled position appears to me like they are falling over. My vote is to have them straight. It gives a neater and stronger look to the display.
