Colorful Yellow Houses

While out cruising in my neighborhood I suddenly noticed a lot of Yellow Houses.  To me, it seems like a pretty and happy color to paint your home.  Check out the pretty pictures below and let me know if you agree!  My next posts will be blue houses, green houses, neutral house and my ALL time favorite, purple houses.  And yes, believe it or not, a purple house can be REALLY pretty. 
I love everything about this house.  The simple front porch, the crisp cream and black accent paints, the red brick walk way, the front door and the Mondrian-esque fence on the left.  Very random, but pretty! 
The roof line of this house is interesting.  The simple, yet impactful landscaping looks like something I might be able to contract.  Gotta love those knockout roses that are so easy to care for, yet so colorful!
Another picturesque cottage.....I like the use of the periwinkle-y blue/purple in the trim. Check out those 16 pane windows!  The little scalloped "shingles" on the front with the window are CUTE!
And who DOESN'T like a wrap around porch.  If I owned this home that would be one of my favorite places to hang out.
This bright little cutie caught my eye.  You KNOW how I love cheerful,  bright and colorful!  Isn't the fence interesting?  Great for keeping your small animals in the yard, but it doesn't block the view.  Check out the little star cut-outs on the shutters.  Such attention to detail!
This place just makes me sigh....it's so cool and inviting. And once again....a beautiful front porch to sit on and watch the world go by....or to keep a look out for weird bloggers that keep driving by to take pictures.  :)

How about Yellow and Teal?  That's a good combination too!  The porch railing has a great detail with the teal inserts.  If it were my house I would paint the fence cream and teal....what would YOU do?
Yellow and Grey....now that's a classy combination. 

Yellow and Cream with Red Brick Accents..looking good.  Love the Craftsman style posts on the  porch.
And one more Yellow and White with some touches of red.  The brick path is a nice touch!

So, keep an eye out for my next posts....I found some GORGEOUS Green houses that I want to share with you.  Happy Memorial Day Everybody!!!!
