I have been browsing on different sites and I think you're the best person to help me. I have a new house and it has more of a vintage and venetian effect to it and I was wondering if these blinds would be okay with it, www.woodenblindsforwindows.org This is one of the best sites I have been to as well.

I've never stained cedar siding before. I would like to replicate the look when I replace the siding on my home. You're the expert. Do the solid stains appear as semi-transparent in person as the stain on this house does?

frankly in interior colors–I find the same concept works best usually–to try to use the same undertone for walls and trim–because I like tonal shifts rather than contrasting shifts–at least right now I do

In this case though I couldn't help but wonder if that's what made the color scheme work. The color for the shutters would not have been one I thought of as my first choice yet after looking at it and asking my self the question about undertone it opened my mind to yet one more way to think about color combinations that might work. It seems its never too late to learn new tricks :-) I don’t usually focus as much on undertone for the siding and shutter colors either although I do consider it when looking at which white or off-white I choose.
