24. Hey, that's my house! Does it have a red brick chimney?

And brown shingles?

Next summer, we're going to have it painted grey with white trim, so we'll be able to tell 'em apart!

20. "Baby-Couldn't-Help-It" Brown

About 1980 or so, my grandmother (3rdGen) strong-armed her daughter (my mom, 4thGen) into having the place sided. The contractor, a turd burgler if ever there was one, sided it with CHEAP, tan-brown aluminum siding. Not even decent vinyl siding -- aluminum.
Ah, I've owned the place since mom died in 1994 and the family's lived here since 1961. In that time, the house has been pink, charcoal grey, OD green, lilac and, now, Baby-Couldn't-Help-It Brown. Maybe I'll finally paint it next spring.
Or maybe I won't. I don't know.

The house was built in 1877. It has nine-foot ceilings and oak woodwork and floors downstairs.
Only two families have ever owned it -- the Wylies' (1877-1951) and us (since then). Gram bought it from the youngest Wylie son, who was going to tear it down to make room for a parking lot, and had it moved one block west to its present site.
She rented it out for eight years or so, then sold it to mom and dad.

23. That's Sad And Funny At The Same Time...

... but I'll bet that first-time visitors never have a problem finding your house once you've explained to them EXACTLY which one to look for.

25. To make it even easier

I have a 30-foot, seven ton, converted 1963 International Harvester school bus parked in the yard. It's rust- and primer grey-colored.

21. Typical suburban tan/beige color siding & Trim

But we spiced it up by painting the front door a totally loud 1950's Aqua blue, with a matching mailbox and poodle address plaque on the light out front.

Definitely grabs your attention now!

22. Traditional California Craftsman bungalow colors

Rustic - brick red
Shingle - light brown
Eaves, corbels and trim - dark earth/brown
all flat oil stain except window treatment
Screens and sash - white

My dream house would be white - inside and out. White and light.

26. Red brick, with red metal awnings over the porch and windows.

All the houses in the neighborhood are the same basic house, so the differences are in porches, awnings and trim.
