It's lengthy but good therapy at the same time to try to re-imagine some of these buildings that I drive by every week, lol! Maybe I should get up some nerve and send these in. The worse they could do is ignore me;)Marie Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293996929614568953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723453802060423877.post-86846772902721398092013-01-26T07:01:32.920-08:002013-01-26T07:01:32.920-08:00These renderings look so great, Marie!

I do virtual exterior designs, but they take a long time to put together - how long did it take you to do all these for your post??

It's much more fun to come home to a building with colour & character.<br /><br />There's a +4,000 sq ft house that's been going up across the street from us since April. It was only around October that I noticed the window frames on the first and second stories are different colours. And that's when I actually paid attention to the finishes and realized that the first story is clad in grey-based beige and the second story is stucco'd in a yellow-based beige. It looks awful! I have no idea why someone would spend likely around 1 million dollars to build a house and then screw up the exterior colours like that.K&B by the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05581765778332754970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723453802060423877.post-53232681830420536692012-11-19T09:41:05.598-08:002012-11-19T09:41:05.598-08:00Hey Marie,

There are so many other hues that will still be neutral but so much better. You just have to find “the one”.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15025125419403123024noreply@blogger.com
