The Money Pit's Suggestion Box

Join in on the home remodeling discussion right here.

I put a suggestion box out in front of the house and invited my neighbors’ comments, tips and complaints, and I took photos of homes around the neighborhood. I would like to know how others see the house and posted a note asking if it resembles a farm house, alpine cabin, New England lakeside cottage, or other description. What does it look like to you?  

I asked what color this house should be. I got a few responses:

“BLUE AND GRAY”

“GREEN BLUE DARK COLOR”

“SEAFOAM GREEN, ENCHANTED FOREST HOUSE”

“Smokey gray w/ darker gray trim, highlight the beautiful chimney”  

Another note that said, “Do you like colors of my house – it’s a forest cottage very tiny compared to yours but come see” and the note gave the address.  

One last note complained, “Please finish this house it’s an eyesore”
