PRETTY HOUSE and PRETTY CAR


PRETTY HOUSE

A while back a friend asked me to help paint the outside of her home but she wasn't decided what color. She had a few ideas but wasn't locked into anything just yet. So ... I spent quite a bit of time riding through the city looking at homes for something that looked nice to copy.

Discovered that -- to my eye -- the VERY ATTRACTIVE home doesn't exist too often. Many homes look nice, but they just don't WOW! me. When I see wow I know it immediately. Turns out that a wow home is all the very same color -- NO TRIM AT ALL! Doesn't seem to matter much what the color is --  just so long as the house is the same throughout with no trim.

That look seems rich and beautiful to me. Majestic. Aristocratic. Fit for royalty. Simply outstanding. WOW!

I mentioned this opinion to one of my brothers who has studied and worked with house paints for many years. He immediately agreed that one solid color throughout gives a rich appearance. He added that a trim color on a house gives a nice look, but of an entirely different nature -- more country and folksy. Nice, but definitely different.

I certainly favor WOW NO TRIM! It's NOT EVEN CLOSE!

PRETTY CAR

I spend a lot of time on the road in my current job. Traveling about the city, down the highway, along country roads and bayous. Plenty of time to think and to observe. Began to wonder what color automobile is most attractive.

After days and weeks of observation it is clear to me the nicest automobile color is ... GREEN! Green just stands out in a very attractive and very pleasant way. It is Calm. Cool. Soothing. Comforting. It fits in beautifully with God's nature around it -- Green grass. Green trees. Green autos. Simply beautiful. WOW GREEN!
