A New Color......"Beachy Keen Green"!!!!

My cottage has wonderful yellow and white striped outdoor Sunbrella panels  and a bright blue porch floor.

I don't want to change that element about the cottage even though I am making changes .
My inspiration... for this color... my small antique  dresser, the metal star I had "color matched" and the vintage Collier Campbell fabric on my ottoman.
 The original paint color on my vintage chest...............

the stripe in the fabric is this gold/yellow shade

the inspiration fabric has all the colors I   am using

the metal star inspiration

"Beachy Keen  Green" is a green/blue shade....not to  dark...not to light....not to bright.. just beachy keen.!!!
In the 1930's some of the old small cottages were painted  dark green( a deeper shade but still with the hint of blue).

the side door of the cottage with the porch floor color.( I found that door on a trash pile on the side of the road and I love it)

 NOTE..White trim is  important to use with these colors. The contrast is fresh and clean.

wanted to be certain it worked with pink..the cottage next door is painted "Luscious Little Cottage Pink"

NOTE: Always consider the house on either side of the house you are painting and how your color will impact and compliment those.

porch elements from the thrift store.(it reminded me of the curtains)

Fluffy is watching the new changes.....

 I am not painting the walls on the screen porch "Beachy Keen Green" because I like the white wall  with the blue floor and the bright yellow and white stripes. I may do it later once I am finish with the project.  I have some fun and interesting plans for the cottage, the grounds and the new shed. It is " 99 Steps to the Beach Cottage" and I may change it to "Squeezed In" because ..Remember it is 641 square feet. It is getting a tin roof and fun screen door and a "one of a kind" shed for the lawn mower ,the beach chairs and my favorite pink bike.

Let the designing begin.....
