A little while ago I was seriously going crazy about this house in our neighborhood. This house to be exact.
I think the brown on that house is really really ugly. I don't think it looks too bad in this picture, but really it does. I decided I would paint it white if it were my house, but I wasn't sure if that would really help.
Ryan and I were taking a walk and I was telling him how much I hated the brown on this house. When we got to the house, it looked like this:
I was SO pleased and it really looks so much better.
So now, the title of this post...crazy, you may think it is because I didn't like the brown trim (as I implied), but in fact, it is that I thought I was crazy when I was walking again past this house and thinking how much better it looks. As I got to the house, I noticed it looked like this:
And I started wondering why they painted it brown again, the white looked so much better. I took the above picture with my phone and sent it to Ryan asking him if I was crazy or if that really happened. As I was walking and waiting for a response, I passed this house:
I had never noticed this house before I was with Ryan that one day. It doesn't have any particular feature that catches my eye, except now I notice that it looks so much better than the other house that is essentially exactly the same (apparently the people who live in the white trim house agree with me).
That is so funny. As we were reading, we thought it was so funny that you had a before picture, but as it turns out, you didn't. Anyway, we agree that the white looks much better. We were just walking by a house with "brown trim" and commenting on how it made the house look older than it really was.
