Wow! I didn't realize my question had been posted! I'm excited to look through all of these and will post again when I find a new rug. Thank you thank you thank you!~Megan

Hi everyone! This is my house. Thank you so much for all of your suggestions. You've given me a lot to think about. I was leaning towards grey so I've been happy that so many of you suggested it. As far as the indecision goes...you are right. I am being indecisive. I want/need a change (painting has to happen, it's peeling) but I am afraid of doing something that is too personalized and turns off buyers in the next couple of years. I know that I really didn't like the scallops, I know that other people who have looked at our house don't like the scallops. I'm making a bigger deal than I need to and it's probably because I've just been thinking about it too long. I've been very decisive about the inside of my house and am happy with what I've done.
I didn't mention it earlier because my letter was getting so wordy but we have done a lot of landscaping in the front and it's definitely made a difference. And yes @KHinNJ You are correct that I don't like the outside of the house. I know that it's not going to look like my dream house and I don't expect that of it. However, it's the first thing I see when I drive up to it and I'd like to make it as aesthetically pleasing (within reason) as I can while I'm there. And yes, I don't really want a red white and blue house. If my husband hadn't asked for blue shutters I probably would have had all of the trim painted white months ago.

I also tried this and experienced some bitterness. I ended up pouring some orange juice over the batch to bring back some of the orange flavor and it was delicious. Next time, I think I would roast them in a bit of orange juice. Yum!
