I know most people are thinking of warm colors associated with Fall right now but lately I've been drawn to the simplicity and elegance of a mostly white house exterior. I think an almost/all white palette allows the surronding lanscape and architectural details to take on a life of their own!

i LOVE white houses - my house is white :o) ... friend of mine lives in a GORGOUS huge "white house" - her son started school - the teacher asked "where do you live" - his response "in the white house" .. :o)
I have a thing for white interiors and exteriors. I wear beige too. I try so hard to incorporate color but it is such a struggle!
Love white houses. There is something so nostalgic about them.

We used to live around the corner from a huge old clapboard house. White with black shutters and a red door with this lovely big porch.
The doctor and his wife who lived there had 6 children and I always imagine that a house like that, should have lots of children inside :)
Now, I only have a dog ( the children visit) .. but I would still be happy in a big white house.
all beautiful.. I love the one with the pool!
Thank you for reminding me why I have a white home ( with a little bit of black trim ) I totally fell for the one in HB this month, I look at it over and over :) xx
I just adore the first one! I love the look of white houses myself.. There is something so fresh and tidy about them...
Health and happiness,

Julie there is something about white houses! They have a feeling of invitation into what is beyond the front door.

These make me feel like having a lazy Saturday (by that pool!) :)
I totally agree on an all white house exterior. It is all about lines and shadows to show off the details. Great examples in this post.
I am going to use your coverage to convince a client that this is the way to go on her exterior paint color we are discussing right now!
Many thanks...she will listen to you.
these are gorgeous!
What I wouldn't give to be by that pool right now. Just lovely... The home I dream of having one day.
definitely! there's something so charming about a white house exterior...
