These days, a white house seems to be a big trend in every neighborhood. But at the same time, others have been around for decades, such as The White House, located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Can a classic be a trend, too?
Bright and clean-looking, white goes with everything and anything. It’s easy to work with, and it’s a classic. It also goes hand-in-hand with the modern farmhouse vibe that our Waco friends Chip and Joanna have made such a fave.
Now white isn’t just white, as you may or may not know. Some are brighter — almost blinding — and others are creamier, grayer, bluer, greener, or pinker. White can be dramatic, quite a contrast to greenery in a landscape, and it can serve as a great backdrop for accents like a red front door, black shutters, or brass carriage lights.
I just might or might not own the owner of the white house in my neighborhood. We’ve painted two houses white, and I can tell you it’s a great way to cover up ugly brick. But whether it’s new or old, brick or stucco, white can be very, very right for a home. Take these daltxrealestate.com Open Houses of the Week for example and tell us: Which white house is your white house?
