Awesome! Guacamole spread would make a great dip. Followed recipe exactly. Will Make again.
Chicken and Guacamole Tostadas
beaches Posted: 08/31/10
HJackson Posted: 07/13/10
I received my Cooking Light Magazine in the mail yesterday and I am always eager to do the cover recipe. The August issue has Chicken and Guacamole Tostadas - a 20 minute "no fuss" entree. The claim is true - it only takes 20 minutes AND quite enjoyable. Adding the paprika to the rotisserie chicken is a nice subtle touch. I especially liked the guacamole - maybe because of the lime juice.
kapc21 Posted: 08/09/10
I really liked this so I gave it 4 stars, but it is not something I would really serve company. I had my doubts while making the recipe-mostly because I was unable to find a ripe avocado (I microwaved my unripe one-yikes, but it worked okay.) In spite of that, it was really yummy. I will make it again and plan ahead. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. I served it double layered and on torn up romaine lettuce.
Laurie18 Posted: 07/25/10
Wow what a great quick and easy recipe.
lizardstew Posted: 08/02/10
This was really good and super easy. I used 1 large can of canned chicken (slightly less than two cups). My only problem with this recipe is that there is NO way it would make 8 tostadas. Maybe 5 if I stretched it, but I used all the guacamole, chicken and tomato mixture on 3 shells. This happens to be perfect for just me and my husband, but I have no idea how you could make it stretch for 8.
txspinner Posted: 07/28/10
I cooked the chxn breast in boiling water with olive oil as I didn't want to go to the store for a rotesserie chxn. Once done, I shredded the chxn with two forks. Instead of the fried tostado, I used a whole wheat tortilla. I toasted the tortilla at 375 degrees for 5-6 mins til crunchy. Followed the rest of the recipe and at the end put some Mexican 4 cheeses and a dollop of light sour cream on top. YUM-O!!! Will definitely make again!
BeckiSue Posted: 09/19/10
Really enjoyed this recipe. I substituted venison for the chicken, because that's how I roll. The lime juice was the key ingredient. Will definitely be making again. Only made 6 tostadas, but that was perfect for us.
BPeeples Posted: 07/27/10
This was extremely easy and incredibly good for the little effort involved. Paprika adds a nice touch to the chicken.
AshleyL Posted: 09/20/10
This recipe is awesome. The only thing I did different is just sliced my avocados instead of making guacamole. With the other ingredients (tomato, cilantro, onion, jalapeno), I made a pico and put it on top. This recipe is delicious!
kristiesnell Posted: 08/11/10
KeepontryingM Posted: 07/30/10
While this recipe was good, I didn't find it easy at all. Sure you don't have to cook, but you've got to make guacamole, salsa and shred the chicken. I didn't think it was worth the trouble.
nkyhky Posted: 08/12/10
A super simple recipe for hot summer days. The second time I made it, I used grilled shrimp rubbed with chipotle seasoning in place of the chicken- Yum! Store bought pico worked well, and we made a little extra guacamole (one avocado mixed w/ a little of the pico de gallo) to have a few chips too.
Beth911 Posted: 08/12/10
Me and my husband loved this dish. My kids just ate the tostadas and chicken but still liked it. I do agree that you would be hard pressed to make 8 tostadas out of this though. Surprise - I didn't even think I really liked guacamole but I loved this one. The only changes I made was that I didn't have any smoked paprika so I used Hungarian instead. And I had a hard time mashing my Avacado so I threw the guac in the blender and it worked fine. Will definately make this one again.
DanaElaine Posted: 07/19/10
This was dinner last night and lunch today. Perhaps my favorite easy recipe ever. I added some of the jalapeno seeds for a touch of spice, but otherwise the only change I would recommend is doubling the recipe! The paprika really is the special touch here that makes the rotisserie chicken have the grilled aspect. Highly recommended! Also, I mixed the salsa and chicken mixture together and it was fine. That way I laid down a layer of guac and then simply topped with chicken/salsa. :)
LizzieR516 Posted: 07/29/10
This recipe was super easy and very delicious!! We had chicken cutlets in the fridge, so we grilled them up instead of using rotisserie chicken and it was still quick and easy. Also substituted corn tortillas for the tostadas. This recipe is a keeper for sure!
ESmith6 Posted: 08/23/10
This was delicious. I made it as written except I combined the salsa with the chicken. I agree with others - it seems unlikely you could get 8 tostadas out of it.
klinscott Posted: 12/19/10
Very Good! The guacamole could be eaten alone, it taste wonderful.
AJJ1415 Posted: 07/28/10
This is a great recipe and I'll definitely make it again. It did take me longer than 20 minutes but I chopped up the chicken into smaller pieces than the picture displayed. I also substituted a can of chopped tomatoes with onions and thought it was just as good. My husband loved it! Tastes fresh and only 7 WW points.
SleepyCalico4 Posted: 07/15/10
This meal was fast. The smoked paprika was a great addition to the chicken and did add the smoked grill taste. 20 minutes and done. Very tasty and filling.
eachdayisnew Posted: 08/09/10
My whole family loved this. I would definitely make this again! I did add a can of black beans. Two changes I would make: the rotisserie was pretty salty, so wither use cutlets or add no additional salt, and I would lighten up on the amount of lime the recipe calls for. I would serve this as my "salad" for a Tex-Mex themed dinner.
Babs1967 Posted: 08/01/10
Easy and light with tons of flavor! My kids and husband all loved it.
Sneaker318 Posted: 10/18/10
Wonderful! Full of flavour and very easy to make. I imagine that, over time, I'll be able to get these done in under 15 minutes as I memorize the recipe. I did add more cilantro to the salsa and also some to the guac. Highly recommend this recipe!
scoutrocks Posted: 08/01/10
I've made this three times now. Twice, I used a mojo marinaded pork tenderloin, and the most recent time, I added fresh corn and used leftover buffalo chicken. Each time, it was outstanding!
Janellemc Posted: 01/14/11
Excellent recipe! Most of the time is spent on chopping all the ingredients. The guac is wonderful and I plan on making it again by itself.
selv2130 Posted: 04/24/11
My husband doesn't like guacamole; my kids are weird about texture. So, I decided this would be a great recipe to try. Husband said all guac should taste like this; kids thought it was a blast to make their own tostadas. This is in our permanent rotation!
Daisie Posted: 07/29/11
Wonderful! I left out the jalapeno since my husband doesn't like hot peppers. We also added warm refried beans to our "stack" on the tostada shell. Loved the garlicky guacamole and the tomato salsa; great fresh taste to both.
JessicaLuu Posted: 09/20/11
Delicious and easy. Rotisserie chickens get expensive, and I don't like dark meat, so I think I'll bake some bone in chicken breasts and use that next time. I love the seasonings. This was a big hit with my family. Also if you get regular corn tortillas you can spray them with cooking spray and bake them for 8 minutes at 450, and they get really crispy.
Kristina6674 Posted: 09/22/11
This has become a favorite at our house, so much so in fact that our teenage daughter prefers this lighter, tastier version over traditional tacos. I can't find the flat shells around here, but started using the "stand 'n stuff" ones, with great results. The prep work for this recipe is slightly time consuming and a little messy, but so worth it. I've been making my own salsa, as suggested, but would consider buying fresh salsa at the grocery store to save time.
Christina21 Posted: 03/05/12
Love love love!! Easy and great tasting! We couldn't put the fork down!
Stephiem20 Posted: 09/20/12
Delicious even for "picky eaters". Salsa and guacamole were amazing!
bellymama Posted: 03/11/12
Simple and yummy. We grilled some chicken breast instead of using rotisserie chicken. Whatever fat/calories we saved by using the chicken breast, we made up for with extra guacamole!
SweetieMagoo02 Posted: 03/22/13
My family loved this dish. I read the reviews before I made my grocery list, and I'm glad I did. I doubled the recipe so there would be enough to feed 4 people. There is a lot of chopping involved but with a good sharp knife, it goes by fast. The guacamole makes a great appetizer too. This recipe will go in the rotation for our weeknight dinners.
carcher84 Posted: 04/03/12
Great meal and it comfortably feeds 3 adults inexpensively.
Hungryfour Posted: 05/06/13
Absolutely outstanding! It will go on my "favorites" list!
teafortwo Posted: 03/08/12
Super tasty and fresh. Perfect for warm weather and quick and easy for mid-week. This also makes a wonderful luncheon dis. It's so easy to put together and always gets great reviews from guests.
yoonj320 Posted: 04/17/12
So easy to make and quick. Didn't have smoked paprika so just used plain chicken but still delicious from the flavors of pico de gallo topping. Added bed of greens (aragula salad mix) on top of guacamole spread and also added cubed avocados on top of chicken and pico. Definitely will be making again and again and again. Next time I'll try a vegetarian version with sliced avocados. :)
linkblue Posted: 04/15/12
so yummy
Krispe22 Posted: 05/04/13
Delish! Super fast to make. Had a hard time finding soft avocados cause I decided to make this at the last minute. :) the fresh tomatoes I think really heightened the taste. I agree with the other reviews DEFINITELY double everything if you want more than 2 tostadas. I doubled it and barely got 4.
Renee5732 Posted: 08/12/13
Super great! Everyone in my family loved them. Easy, fast, fresh, and delicious. I used two organic avocados and about 3 tbsp. tomato for the guacamole. Used one tomato + cherry tomatoes to make about 1 1/2 c. total. Used about three cups chicken. It made 11 tostadas (corn tortillas that I fried on the stove), two with chicken only for a picky eater. Served four well. Not to mention the nice presentation. My only question was why my jalapeno pepper tasted like a green pepper- there was zero heat. I must have made a mistake shopping. Anyway, a wonderful recipe that my Dad called one of the best things I've made and will make again and again ;)
Roxanne605 Posted: 08/22/13
Just had this for dinner and it was fabulous! Preparing just for me so eye balled the measurements. Only change was to add some crumbled cotija cheese which added a little tang and creaminess. Wasn't sure about a cold tostado, but it was really good. The recipe states it is no cook, not no effort, but found it came together quickly. Definitely recommend.
miraoli Posted: 10/11/13
These are absolutely awesome tostadas. Super easy and fast to make too! There's a coupon for $1 off of any HarvestLand Product here: (They have really good organic chicken. =] ) http://printablecouponsanddeals.com/2013/10/1-off-any-harvestland-product-2.html
steponme Posted: 08/17/14
Great tostadas, but it takes Moore than 20 min. to shred the chicken & chop the veggies (unless you have some helping hands). The smoked paprika gives the chicken a grilled flavor; don't sub with regular paprika. The gauc. and tomato salsa were also nicely seasoned.
SingaporeKel Posted: 04/29/14
My family loved this. I used 6 chicken breasts I had on hand but cooked it in a crock pot for two hours on high with a jar of salsa (16 oz), 3T lime juice, 1 package of taco seasoning and 3T fresh cilantro. So delicious!

So it's time to geek out, look at microphones, headphones, sound desks and anything else that will get me wishing I had money.
Going to read up on more techniques and try new approches to getting that perfect sound.
So if anyone knows things that I should look into let me know……
Tomorrow work begins again and I cannot wait. I can truly say I have missed the damn place, and all I want is to get started with 2012. A year for accomplishment and fun. Fucking why not!!

New York's mayor wants to ban
The sale of jumbo drinks.
This will cure obesity,

Never thought they'd have to hide
From Mayor Bloomberg's talons.
It's a bit Big Brotherish,
For putting into law
A bill to limit what we drink
Can stick in someone's craw.
I'm conflicted – though I know
These drinks can make you fat,
Government should not control
Our choice to get like that.
People most affected by
A strong, humongous thirst
Will simply buy two smaller drinks
And Bloomberg will get cursed.
As freedom slowly fades away,
It causes me to think;
And though I'll use a smaller cup,
I really need a drink!

From Arlington to Spring and all points in between, the skies above Texas are great place to eyewitness UFO events each week. NEWS 92 FM has scoured the files of the Mutual UFO Network to bring you the following dispatches:
A driver along Cypresswood Drive, between TC Jester and Kuykendahl, became an eyewitness to a UFO sighting Friday night. The sighting happened around 9:40 p.m. The eyewitness said he saw a bright light in the sky, but later realized it was not a helicopter as previously believed.
The light was a pulsating, blue oval shape which traveled erratically at various speeds from a straight line to up and down, side to side. The UFO hovered for a moment before becoming lost behind the trees.
Photos: Texas UFO Sightings
An oilfield becomes ground zero for an interesting UFO sighting as two workers experience the same event Thursday night, around 9 p.m.. The men were working when one man alerted another to a series of bright lights in the sky. The lights, originally thought to be two jet fighters participating in a dogfight, was actually four "bright white light orbs moving at a very high speed all around each other."
That is when one of the lights shot out balls of fire which lit up the night sky, retracting the balls back within itself before disappearing completely. The balls would then reappear in a different spot. This happened, according to the eyewitness, about four or five times.

A driver spots a very fast and vivid aircraft, illuminated in red and blue light. The UFO sighting happened Thursday around 11:15 p.m. The craft traveled approximately 1500 feet above the ground, according to the eyewitness.
The craft would accelerate and decelerate rapidly, sometimes bobbing up and down as it hovered. The sighting lasted over several minutes.
Stafford Resident Witnesses 'Unusual' UFOs Over Rosenberg
Grand Prairie
While walking with her 6-year-old daughter along the Fish Creek Linear Trail, an eyewitness reports observing a boomerang-shaped UFO around 6 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 17.
The craft was accompanied by two jets flying through the clouds. The UFO descended vertically through the clouds, hovered for approximately 30-40 seconds in plain view, then ascended vertically.
"I immediate knew it was not a plane, balloon, bird, hang glider, optical illusion, or reflection," the eyewitness wrote. "I had no huge emotions or feelings just curiosity, wanting to see it again or find out more about it."
Upon returning home, her daughter drew a picture of the object. It was, as she reports, exactly as she saw it at the trail.

Board Chair Corner – February, 2014
Happy February! The longer, lighter days are a sign that spring will eventually come!
Emma Chandonais, a Senior Girl Scout and Girl Advisory Board member, was the February 12 Mission Moment speaker. She shared a beautifully developed PowerPoint presentation using a tree analogy to describe how the Girl Scout program and caring adult leaders were the roots that allowed her to grow and branch out to experience new opportunities. Of particular note, was her description of her experiences on a GSUSA Destinations trip to Panama and Costa Rica working with local village children and releasing loggerhead baby turtles into the wild. Emma has begun work on her Gold Award. She truly is a young woman "of courage, confidence and character who is making the world a better place!"
The board next turned its attention to financial matters. Our auditors from Baker Tilly reviewed GSSEM's Form 990 federal tax return and passed a resolution to approve and submit. We reviewed November and December financial statements to place on file and approved a motion to extend our current contract with Little Brownie Baker for an additional year. This extension will allow us to avoid any increases in commodity (ingredient) prices. The Pension Committee brought forth a motion, which the board approved, to begin process of rolling over one of our legacy Council retirement plans into an annuity.
The Annual Meeting is approaching quickly. The board approved the recommendation of a single slate of candidates for board officers, trustees, board development committee members, delegates and alternates to the National Conference session to be included in the Annual Meeting workbook and voted on by council delegates. Denise reported that despite the snowy, arctic weather, participation at the delegate training meeting on Saturday, January 25 was excellent! What a committed group we have to brave the particularly nasty weather that day to come to training! We look forward to a productive and informative Annual Meeting on March 22.
The Fund Development Committee acknowledged Kathy Ossian, committee chair, as recipient of the January Giving Cup award for her work in soliciting donations to Cookie Gala. The board passed a resolution to apply for a temporary liquor license for the cookie gala, which will take place again at the beautiful DTE Headquarters on Wednesday, March 26.
The board heard a brief property committee update from Rick Sundquist who reported that the sale of the building behind the Clinton Township Service Center has been completed. Additionally, the new Flint Service Center is opening this week with plans for a formal ribbon cutting with the Flint Chamber of Commerce and other local dignitaries early next month.
Finally, the board passed a resolution with thanks and appreciation to approve the nominees for the National Volunteer Recognition Awards. We look forward to honoring and thanking these distinguished volunteers at the awards luncheon on April 6.
The next board meeting is April 8, 2014 at the new Flint Service Center. I look forward to seeing you at our Annual Meeting on Saturday, March 22 at the San Marino Club in Troy. Registration starts at 9am and the meeting begins at 9:30am. Till then, think spring!
Yours in Scouting,

The National Campaign to Reform State Juvenile Justice Systems is a multi-state initiative aimed at changing juvenile justice policies that enhance public safety, improve outcomes for youth, and reduce costs to the taxpayer.
While efforts vary from state to state, all are aimed at improving outcomes for youth and families. Across the country, the Campaign supports initiatives to:
• Treat kids as kids: changing how youth are treated to reflect their developmental differences from adults;
• Address metal health and behavioral concerns;
• Provide community based alternatives to the formal court process and incarceration; and
• Ensure that youth have access to quality legal representation.
The Campaign understands that the most effective way to achieve rapid and widespread change is to invest in state juvenile justice policy reforms. Active since 2011, the Campaign seeks to invest strategic resources into juvenile justice policy initiatives in approximately forty states by 2016.
In order to identify the states in which to work, the Campaign conducts thorough state assessments to evaluate the political landscape and appetite for policy reform, reviews pending and likely juvenile justice reform issues, and determines whether targeted advocacy investments can achieve short-term success.
Based on those findings, Campaign staff assembles a team of state-based seasoned government affairs professionals, communications experts and policy analysts to work with local juvenile justice advocates and policy makers to support and shape policy reform initiatives.
Each of the state campaigns has its own specific reform agenda but all seek ways to save money, improve public safety, lower recidivism rates, and help young people and their families.
The need for reform is urgent and nearly universal. Most juvenile justice systems are broken. Kids are treated like adults despite developmental differences. Minor infractions in schools are criminalized. Low-risk offenders are placed in harsh detention and prison facilities, rather than offered appropriate community services. Minority youth are subject to discrimination. This campaign supports policy changes to reverse this pattern and allow youth to get the help and they need while holding them accountable for their actions.
The Campaign has positioned itself to capitalize on the growing bipartisan support for policies that reduce the number of children in custody in the juvenile and adult systems and redirect resources to more effective community-based services that save taxpayer dollars and reduce crime.
To date, the Campaign has supported more than 50 reform bills in over 20 states. The Campaign has buttressed local efforts by retaining lobbying firms, state policy coordinators, juvenile justice experts and communications firms, as well as underwriting research. Nearly 40 policy reform efforts have been successful in shifting state juvenile justice systems away from the reliance on harsh, punitive responses to delinquency, and toward more rehabilitative and restorative approaches that reduce crime, save money and help youth successfully transition to adulthood.

The Worst Guy Presents: Steve Duda (Interview and Concert)
4 Jul
Dear Duda Lovin' Dudes and Dudettes,
It is by no stroke of luck that I wound up at Steve Duda's apartment in downtown Toronto close to a month ago. Actually, it was the first time in my relatively short blogging career that something I planned out actually came to fruition perfectly. The reason being, is that most DJs in our lovely international EDM community are somewhat caged behind either their managerial obligations or their egos, and for someone with @theworstguy.com in their email address, it's somewhat impossible to get a sit down. Thankfully Mr. Duda is as humble as he is tech-savvy and arranging an interview with him, following the show he played in Toronto on The River Gambler, was easier than appreciating his music.
Not only is Steve an ever-spewing wealth of knowledge on the topics of electronics, music and electronic music, he has matured side-by-side in the industry next to his long time friend and collaboration partner Joel Zimmerman (who is also his neighbour in Toronto). He is also a multi-talented sound guru and computer programmer, but most importantly he is an extremely awesome guy. The only bad luck that came of the whole interview is that Deadmau5 was asleep next door the whole time.
- Signed Sincerely, The Worst Guy

LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA (LVMUY, MC.FR) said Thursday it has hired Calvin McDonald, the former head of Sears Canada Inc. (SEARF, SCC.T, to head its Sephora cosmetics chain in the Americas.
Mr. McDonald's arrival at Sephora--effective from Jan. 1, 2014--comes as the chain is ramping up its expansion in the region, through store openings and small acquisitions.
He will replace David Suliteanu, who has held the position since 2000. Mr. Suliteanu is now set to become chief executive of Kendo Brands, a branch of LVMH that creates and buys beauty labels.
Mr. McDonald "will focus on building on the extraordinary growth of the business in new and existing markets," said Christopher de Lapuente, chief executive of Sephora Global.
In late September, Sears Canada said Mr. McDonald had resigned as president and chief executive to take a position with an unidentified "leading international company." Mr. McDonald had run Sears Canada--the Toronto-based subsidiary of Sears Holdings Corp. (SHLD)--since June 2011.
Sephora is one of the two chains in LVMH's fast-growing selective retailing unit, which accounts for around 30% of the company's revenue.
After opening its first store in North America 15 years ago, Sephora has swiftly built up its network and now operates more than 330 outlets in the U.S. and Canada.
This strong growth has played a significant role in the beauty purveyor's comeback over the past decade. In the early 2000s, Sephora drew significant criticism from industry observers who doubted the potential of the retailer and questioned its place within LVMH's portfolio of businesses.
More recently, LVMH set its sights on conquering the Latin American cosmetics distribution market, buying Brazilian online beauty retailer Sack's in 2010, as a first step towards development in the country. Two years later, Sephora began opening stores under its own banner in Brazil and Mexico.
Last week, the group's nine-month revenue figures showed the selective retailing division posting a 16% gain in sales to 6.3 billion euros ($8.7 billion) over the period. LVMH doesn't break out figures for Sephora.
During a conference call at the time, Chris Hollis, director of financial communications for LVMH, said Sephora's performance was driven by strong business in Asia and North America.

House Colors
Upon first glance, Kev and I both felt like one of the things we'd (eventually) like to change about our new house are the exterior paint colors. Or should I say- color. Right now, the whole thing is pretty much completely covered in one single shade of tan. The body, the trim, the underskirt, the railings, the doors…heck, even the actual windows are tan.
This is where I squirm a little, thinking to myself- "Self: what if someone reading this has an all tan house, too?" If so, please know that this is totally a personal preference thing. Kev and I seem to be drawn to blue/green/grays and a little more variation between design elements when it comes to exterior palettes- but we fully understand that some folks are more comfortable with neutrals and a tone on tone look. I definitely don't think there's a right or wrong when it comes to any of this stuff. It just boils down to what colors make your heart sing!
That said, Kev and I have found that choosing exterior paint colors can be super tricky and quite intimidating. Fortunately, there are several homes in our neighborhood that we can draw color inspiration from this time around. As a matter of fact, there's a house on our street that may already be sporting the very colors we'll end up using on our place. Check it out:
The body color is called Distant Mountain. It's a very pale blue/green/gray. The trim and underskirt color is a creamy off-white called Cameo. The front door color is Artisan Brown. They're all Glidden colors.
I (quickly) used Photoshop to see what that palette would (sort of ) look like on our house.
PS- I'm not chained to the back door color. I just kind of threw it in there to see what a different color looked like there.
Painting the exterior of our house will definitely not happen for a while though. Lots of walls to paint inside the house first!

I have to say that when I first saw the picture of the outside of your house I thought it was awesome BUT didn't love the colors for that particular house. Can't wait to see what you come up with
Monica says:Oct 19, 2012 at 11:13 am
Where do you park? That's quite a staircase!
Anele @ Success Along the Weigh says:Oct 19, 2012 at 11:14 am
LOVE the potential color choices. Looks much more "you!" (Me too!)
Crissy says:Oct 19, 2012 at 11:18 am
I love that inspiration house, especially the number 28 which is my family's favorite number I cant wait to see what y'all come up with.
Jeannine Larocque says:Oct 19, 2012 at 11:25 am
I like the shade variant with tone on tone but the trim work, in my opinion, looks fresh when it's substantially lighter on the colour palette. I also believe in having punch with door colours because they direct you eye to come into a home. You have brick in the house and landscape so my preference would be to stay within/complimenting that family or it would feel really off to me. Yes, even if it means warming the colours slightly (unless you plan to overhaul that too).
For instance, I sacrificed my brick colour for location so although I gravitate to cooler shades inside I 'journeyed' (aka struggled a long time to get it right) through the warm tones to make the exterior work for curb appeal. My 2 cents
Jennifer McGinnis says:Oct 19, 2012 at 11:25 am
I adore your house!!!
Monica Adair says:Oct 19, 2012 at 11:27 am
If it were me, I would be intimidated painting the whole house. I would be inclined to paint the shutters, trim and use a really fun color on the front door. It would be far less work and simpler thing to change down the road. With that said, you always do such a beautiful job, I can't wait to see what you do!
Kathleen says:Oct 19, 2012 at 11:30 am
What if you did an oak or maple finish on the door? Might look a little more cottage-y. I love super-light green houses with bright white trim and might or might not have one myself! !
Amy D says:Oct 19, 2012 at 11:34 am
I l ove your new house! Until you are ready to paint the whole thing, I think you could even paint all the trim and shutters on your house to get a much better look…not that all tan is necessarily horrible. What if you took the trim and door color from your neighbor's house and kept your current house's main color? The brown tones might not be perfect, but it'd at least be some distinction. I guess with being the pro at photoshop that you are, you could totally try that out to see what the effect would be. This would probably be a quick/fairly inexpensive upgrade until you are ready to paint the entire house….or at least just paint the doors and shutters a different color!
Also, I would love to know where you park and where that side door comes in to your house. I don;t think that's the one by the piano….plus I was really shocked to see the staircase behind the kitchen wall….not at all where I thought it would be!
Debbie says:Oct 19, 2012 at 8:34 pm
I too was wondering where the side door leads to. Also, are those REAL shutters on the front of the house?! I love them! Your house is so adorable and cozy. You said you like green, one of my favorite color combos on houses is sage green siding, buttery cream trim, black shutters, and a red door. Our house has yellow siding, white trim, black shutters and a black door. I love it but I am always drawn to a red door too.
pamela says:Oct 19, 2012 at 11:37 am
LOVE the possible color scheme! And that house is so cute. But why is the landscape always an after thought? Landscaping is an (relatively) inexpensive aspect of one's home, but has such a huge impact.
To all of you DIY'ers: Dont forget the garden/landscape!!!! It really does make a difference. If the task is too intimidating and you don't want to attempt it yourself, there are SO many AVAILABLEcompanies who can create something beautiful. Remeber, you should spend AT LEAST 10% of the total cost of your home on your garden/landscape.
Just sayin'
Tara McCann says:Oct 19, 2012 at 11:40 am
This is so cool. I am trying to close on a historic cottage right now. I have been thinking about all the things I wanna do to it. I might just follow your lead! Good timing!
Karen S. says:Oct 19, 2012 at 11:41 am
Yes, I have an all tan house!!!! Ok, it's stucco and doesn't look that bad. I don't care for the two-tone color around the windows for stucco. I love your exterior! It has so much character and I love shutters. Your new color choice is fabulous. I agree all tan for a house with such character is so boring. I know you guys will make it totally amazing! Congrats!
Tracy says:Oct 19, 2012 at 11:42 am
I just think its fantastically amazing that you and Kevin can AGREE on things like this! I envy that almost as much as I envy your creativity and skills!
Theresa says:Oct 19, 2012 at 11:46 am
You gotta make sure you have your haint blue ceilings above your porch! Keep the evil spirits away! LOL!
Tina says:Oct 19, 2012 at 12:05 pm
Yes, I love the blue ceiling on the neighbor's porch! I never would have imagined that. Whimsical, but also looks right at home. I think these palette ideas are lovely, especially in the lake setting. I imagine it gets a bit hot there in the summer, and cool colors are perfect.
Kimmeth says:Oct 19, 2012 at 5:28 pm
do you have any idea where that custom came from? Is it just a Southern thing, is it supposed to suggest the sky? I saw so much of it is Savannah & Charleston and always wondered.
Amanda says:Oct 20, 2012 at 1:56 am
Yep, the blue porch ceiling/awning paint color is done to simulate the sky so things like wasps will think they can't build their nests underneath. (I saw a program on PBS that explained it.) There are probably lots of people that use the blue color just because it looks good though. Not sure if it's just a southern thing, but I love the look of it too!
Theresa says:Oct 22, 2012 at 3:01 pm
You are right on, Kimmeth!, It's a Southern (or a South Carolina"Lowcountry" thing. It originates from the Gullah people (descendents from Africa) who live off the coast of South Carolina and Georgia. To make a long story short, they believed the "evil spirits" couldn't cross water, hence the "Haint Blue".
Amy F says:Oct 22, 2012 at 11:21 pm
it's to keep flys from landing on the ceiling
Missy says:Oct 19, 2012 at 11:46 am
LOVE the house you chose color inspiration from…..those colors would look great on your new home. I adore your new house….it's gonna be even cuter when you guys put your mark on it!
Ali says:Oct 19, 2012 at 11:53 am
I am weirdly excited to see you "new" house transformation. I think the your future colors will look great. I am living vicariously through you till we retire from the Army and finally settle into a home! So thank you!
Brett says:Oct 19, 2012 at 12:12 pm
Do you still live in Alabama? seems like i remember a post a while back that said that. i live an hour north of Birmingham! If you ever get an opportunity to visit a place called "The Village at Blount Springs", I'm sure you could draw a lot of influence from the homes there. It is an amazing neighborhood.
Liz VanKirk says:Oct 19, 2012 at 12:16 pm
I'm with you about not "preferring" the all tan pallet. It seems kinda 80'ish looking. I think the same with yellow homes w/ green roofs. I love the dark gray cement siding color that look like Cedar Shakes! I love the contrast with white trim. White risers on the front porch steps are a must! Your going to have too much fun finding all the color combos before you actually change it.
Jessica says:Oct 19, 2012 at 12:22 pm
I work for a commercial painting company (all the way across the country ) and we use the color rendering software from Kelly Moore. I've found it easier to use than Photoshop, and pretty darn accurate. The bummer is that it's 50 bucks, and only Kelly Moore colors, but it is super easy to use. We use it constantly to help owners visualize what new colors will look like. Unfortunately, we only do commercial buildings so I never get to do the really fun stuff… just lots of gray and tan. Can't wait until the husband and I actually buy a darn house so that I can play- the market is so competitive in our area that we've lost out on 9 houses so far. Guess I'll just have to continue living vicariously through you guys for awhile longer!
Lynda says:Oct 19, 2012 at 12:25 pm
Feeling brave? Go to Google Images and type in Lunenberg Houses. Some of the combinations are VERY exciting!
Fairfield House says:Oct 19, 2012 at 12:27 pm
Layla & Kevin,
So happy for both of you! Can you feel my smile? I know you will choose colors that best suit you — that's what makes a house a home, adding pieces of ourselves to it — and it will look even more beautiful than it does now. (The shutters look darker on my iPad screen.)
Your Friends,
Deborah & Thomas
Layla says:Oct 19, 2012 at 2:25 pm
Thank you, Deborah! The shutters are a little darker than everything else. It's a tone on tone palette from top to bottom for sure!
julie g. says:Oct 19, 2012 at 12:35 pm
I am loving everything about your new home! It is nice to live somewhere that may not be to your particular taste but the bones and current style are lovely so when you get around to putitng your stamp on things it will make it that much better.
holly says:Oct 19, 2012 at 12:40 pm
Even though I'm normally a white trim kinda girl, when I first saw the pic of your house I fell in love with it as-is…. it just looks "historical" to me or something But I also totally understand where you are coming from on personal preferances!
Dorothy says:Oct 19, 2012 at 7:14 pm
I agree with Holly – when I first saw the house I thought, WOW! It is lovely. I guess because I am from an historic townm Annapolis, I like the historic color look. Usually I would like the white with a punch on the door and shutters but this house really appealed to me the way it is and the brick wall is stunning. As mentioned, I am from Annapolis and we always for generations had blue ceilings on our porches. It had nothing to do with evil spirits – God is greater – but I was always told it was to keep the bees away from it. *-* Whatever colors you choose, God's blessings for much love and happiness.
Amber says:Oct 19, 2012 at 12:44 pm
I wouldn't worry about offending someone who has what you say you want to change. They wouldn't be reading your site if they didn't like your design style. I like your photoshop redo – looks great.
Jane McCormack says:Oct 19, 2012 at 12:51 pm
Love your new color palette ideas…it's gonna look awesome!
Jan says:Oct 19, 2012 at 12:56 pm
How exciting! Starting all over again …a decorator's dream come true!
Kim in Iowa says:Oct 19, 2012 at 1:09 pm
It's very intimidating to completely change a house's exterior colors. When we bought our cape cod style house 12 years ago it was stained a dark burgundy with hunter green shutters and trim. So NOT me! Within 2 months we had a family painting party (my dad used to paint houses in the summer – he was a teacher) and changed the entire house to a wonderful yellow with white trim!! We had people stop while driving by to say how much they enjoyed seeing the change in the house – brightened the neighborhood up a bit, too. We took a chance because it felt right to us. Yes, it's LOTS of work, but so worth it in the end! Good luck and love the colors you're looking at!
Oh – and would love to know the blue ceiling color in that porch. want to do that with my porch, too!
Ashley@AttemptsAtDomestication says:Oct 19, 2012 at 1:09 pm
Our house colors aren't necessarily my cup of tea either, but the exterior definitely is on my eventual list!
Lynne says:Oct 19, 2012 at 1:10 pm
Love your new house . . . and without a doubt, the changes you make will be perfect. I don't mind the color but shades of gray with charcoal and white would be my choices. Enjoy the journey!
Susan @ Afford Your Passions says:Oct 19, 2012 at 1:32 pm
My house is tan with cream trim, and an dark crimson front door – it wouldn't have been my first choice, but it was a spec. house already under construction when we bought it, so we didn't get to chose the exterior color. I like blues or grays, but can't have those for my house, as we can't paint our house the same color as either neighbor – they don't want houses to all look alike.
I like the color you've chosen, but I understand about wanting to change the interior color, first!
Felicity says:Oct 19, 2012 at 1:36 pm
I love the color scheme you're thinking of using, but here's my question… is it okay to copy a neighbor? There is another house on my street that shares a very similar trim and body color with me. That house has a beautiful turquoise front door that I had pinned months before moving into my house. I've been holding off on painting my door, because I didn't want to upset a new neighbor by "stealing" her color scheme (even though I had pinned it independently). Do you think she'd be mad or flattered?
Centsational Girl says:Oct 19, 2012 at 1:42 pm
Wow, I love your color ideas! I can't wait to see what you two do with this new place! I had to pin that white farmhouse, I have a soft spot for that style with a charming front porch! xo Kate
Layla says:Oct 19, 2012 at 2:16 pm
Thanks, Kate! That house is actually painted a pale shade of blue/green/gray, but it did photograph a little lighter that day! I agree with you about the style- it's definitely one my favorite houses in the whole neighborhood, too!
Amy from Grown From Scratch says:Oct 19, 2012 at 1:43 pm
I love your new house. It is going to look amaz.ing. I can't wait to see the progress :-).
HeatherD says:Oct 19, 2012 at 1:58 pm
We just finished painting the exterior of our house and we chose Marine Magic by Behr (740F-6). It's a beautiful dark bluish gray, with a hint of green in it. It may be darker than you're thinking, but we absolutely love it
Leah says:Oct 19, 2012 at 2:01 pm
Isn't it fun to daydream?: )
I waited so long to paint my completely naked (I mean, totally unfinished) dining room chairs because I couldn't decide what color – I finally settled on a dark, warm gray for four of them, and two are about to get their second coat of red (weekend project, yay!) They turned out great and I'm so happy that I trusted my gut and went with two red – they are perfect for our farmhouse style.: )
debbie r says:Oct 19, 2012 at 2:25 pm
Ah yes, thats nice. I think u need a shade of blue for the door. or something bright and cheery to match the bright and cheery people who live inside the house. : )
Jeanne says:Oct 19, 2012 at 2:26 pm
I love your color choice. I was thinking white with black trim/door but really like the light green/blue. I totally disagree with the comment about going warmer tones because of the brick! =) I'm sure it will look gorgeous when you are done!!
Stephanie @ The Hardscrabble Home says:Oct 19, 2012 at 2:30 pm
Your house reminds me of Abraham Lincoln's house in Springfield, except his doesn't have a porch.
Can't wait to see what you do.
ChristineW says:Oct 19, 2012 at 2:39 pm
Painting the whole exterior can be very intimidating! Our house was painted five years ago before the previous owners put it on the market. But they didn't do a good job and we just had to redo it. We wanted blue but so many houses in our neighborhood are blue. We didn't want brown or any variation of that. We ended up with…Basil with Sun-Dried Tomato shutters! YUMMY! It is a bold choice but one we (and surprisingly all of our neighbors) love. WHEW! I think your future choice will look great!
Judy says:Oct 19, 2012 at 2:43 pm
we painted our brick a few years ago and i had david driving me all over montgomery looking at painted brick houses…especially over in old cloverdale! when i found "the one" i made him stop the car, i went up to the door and the man of the house came out…when i told him i loved his paint colors he said he was a house painter and had the colors still in his garage…so i was lucky enough to copy those down and take them to the paint store.
looking forward to all your "renovations"!
Kristen S says:Oct 19, 2012 at 2:49 pm
We bought an ALL tan house. Every single wall in the whole house inside or out was tan. I think the seller was trying to make it as neutral as possible for sale, but it was just a hideous bland mess! I have been de-beige the place ever since!
barbara says:Oct 19, 2012 at 2:54 pm
OK I SAY YES to the green/gray color!! We put it on our first little house. I loved it & wish I had it where we live now. Yellow is cheerful tho! green/gray is just more me (:
We used SW Antique Marble it was just perfect for what I was looking for!
Looking forward to seeing your new updates!
blessings, barbara
Layla says:Oct 19, 2012 at 4:28 pm
Ooh! I LOVE Antique Marble, Barbara! One of my favs!
Carrie - The Corson Cottage says:Oct 19, 2012 at 4:12 pm
I love your new paint color plan. So casual & sorta beachy. I love it. I tend to like a bit of contrast on home exteriors too. I think it adds character. I am completely struggling with our exterior color choices we are making as we speak at our house. What photoshop prorgram do you use to make your changes???? I need to try something like that. Can you do that in Elements? I need to take a Shoot Fly Shoot class:)
Layla says:Oct 19, 2012 at 4:27 pm
Hi Carrie! You can toooootally do it in Photoshop Elements! I should've linked to their class in my post!
susan says:Oct 19, 2012 at 4:17 pm
The new colors look great, but did you ever think of doing the trim dark, like black or a deep shade of the actualy house color?
I grew up in a cottagey house ( all 900 square feet of her) and it was white with black trim, so I may be biased just a bit
Our home is all red brick-never my first choice, but we are selling, so we aren't going to open up THAT can o worms( I love whitewashed/ painted brick).
Layla says:Oct 19, 2012 at 4:26 pm
Our next door neighbor has dark trim and it looks great! We're going to go with off-white trim on our place…someday!
I don't blame you for not opening up the painted brick can of worms! That's a big one!
Rebecca Schildroth says:Oct 19, 2012 at 4:35 pm
Well I like both. My view is that the outside of the house should relate to the inside if possible. The front door color should be repeated in the entry and at least one other room and the outside should be compatible to the inside.
Layla says:Oct 19, 2012 at 4:43 pm
Exact-a-mundo! That's the plan, Rebecca! Can't wait to get started!
Claire says:Oct 19, 2012 at 8:16 pm
Which is why doing the inside first makes sense.
KimC says:Oct 20, 2012 at 2:20 pm
Well dang it. No wonder my exterior bugs me. It does NOT reflect my interior. The exterior looks too Spanish (stucco and wrought iron) and as we're redoing the interior we're doing craftsmas style trim and very cottagy pallette. My front door is a brick red, which looks great on our house, but I don't like bright colors in my interior. Maybe I can do some pillows on a chair or something. Thanks for the tip Rebecca!
Rebecca Schildroth says:Oct 24, 2012 at 10:10 am
Gosh, I really did not expect to see comments on my comment. Kind of a warm fuzzy.
I just think it makes sense and for more harmony.
I also like the rooms in my home to relate to each other with the exception of kids rooms. That does not mean they use the exact same colors but that there is a repeat of some color used in the adjoining room. Most of us do not have unlimited budgets but having a long term plan will help us spend our money wisely.
Kim, Maybe down the road the outside could be made a bit more craftsman with wood replacing the wrought iron. Or bring one of the inside colors to your front door.
Amy says:Oct 20, 2012 at 11:18 am
Well Rebecca, this is the first time I have ever heard this thinking. It is interesting. I think I am doing this by coincidence at my new house (I just moved) and didn't know it was something people actually plan to do.
Liz says:Oct 19, 2012 at 4:52 pm
I just painted the outside of my house this summer. It took me all summer, and when people asked if I wanted to go to the lake, I had to decline, because I had painting to do. But what a HUGE difference. I love the instant gratification paint gives and can't wait to see your house transformed inside and out. (I can live vicariously and don't have to paint more myself.)
Alice Montgomery says:Oct 19, 2012 at 5:19 pm
HA! I am rolling on the ground, because my house is EXACTLY the same color and everything is painted out too! I know it was cheaper to paint it this way, but we hate it. Strong words, but the lack of personality is stifling. Can't wait to see what you ultimately choose, good luck!
Kimmeth says:Oct 19, 2012 at 5:24 pm
I'm laughing because exactly what you said about not wanting to offend the neutral/tan lovers is EXACTLY what I was thinking when I saw your house the first time – great bones, but did EVERYTHING have to be that one color/shade?! Honestly though it might have just been a quick fix-up trick from whoever listed the house. Neutrals are great but a little contrast in trim is essential.
I love the new palette WITH that door color you threw in there! I would even swoon over a dark muted purple door with that dreamy distant mountain color and I am extremely fond of white trim so I'm excited for you. The photoshop-ed color is a little darker then the distant mountain but I think I prefer it that way, just a little more body but still light enough that it sets off greenery and red/purple or white flowers very nicely. Have fun!
Margaret says:Oct 19, 2012 at 5:34 pm
Your new house is gorgeous but of course, not YOU yet. We love being 'in on' the design process, but you are the expert; we are here to see what YOU come up with!
Lisa says:Oct 19, 2012 at 6:01 pm
This house and neighborhood look so charming! I'm so excited excited to see what you and Kevin do. I'm thrilled for you ;). And it is fun to see the photos of KitKat and Max exploring!
Judy says:Oct 19, 2012 at 6:02 pm
I really appreciate that you refrain from "demonizing" a particular color. It puts me off when designers do that. I think there are no bad colors, it's all how you combine them, what you do with them, and what speaks to you.
Barbara Martinez says:Oct 19, 2012 at 6:14 pm
We used Pittsburg Paints Balsam for the outside of our house. It's similar to the one you've shown but maybe a little bit deeper. It's a blue-green with a touch of silver. I love it.
Angela says:Oct 19, 2012 at 7:40 pm
The tone-on-tone is definitely to mimic a historic house. Up here in MA you see it a lot…I have the same issue ( I much prefer a contrast in trim to siding so that the corner boards & window sash stand out against the siding), only rather than all tan, I have all RED!! Cute when there's snow everywhere (picture a Christmas card!) but a bit too much the rest of the time! I hope to paint the exterior in the next couple years, too!
Elizabeth L says:Oct 19, 2012 at 7:54 pm
We just added a back porch and painted the ceiling blue- love it! Whatever you all pick will look great, you all have great taste!! Enjoy the process!!
Peggy says:Oct 19, 2012 at 8:35 pm
…just love the grey/white look – what a beautiful neighborhood. The front of the house looks like the house I grew up in – just love that everything old is new again!
Dina says:Oct 19, 2012 at 10:08 pm
Our house was tan on tan too when we bought it. Now it's a happy sunshiney yellow! I can't wait to see what you choose. It will be beautiful!
Tammy says:Oct 19, 2012 at 10:18 pm
Love the house. Check out Sher. Williams color Drizzle #6479 for your door!
Sue S. says:Oct 19, 2012 at 10:37 pm
Layla, congratulations on your new house! Love your blog and daily emails. Do you know who is the manufacturer of your door with the 4 panes of glass? I love it! I'm in the process of updating my doors and I've never seen this one. Thanks. Sue
Heather says:Oct 19, 2012 at 11:33 pm
When we bought our house. the entire house, inside and out was what I now call "old man tan" with a touch of darker brown trim. It was awful. A couple years ago we finally painted our little cottage beautiful colors and its amazing how many of our neighbors came to tell us how happy it makes them to see it.
Jenny B. says:Oct 19, 2012 at 11:45 pm
White railings and porch posts would be a great change! I can see your house looking awesome in a darker blue also. Maybe not navy, but a rich marine blue/teal color? With gray for the lowest parts? Definitely need a light blue ceiling on the porch. Love that! I'm so excited for you guys. The thing I'm loving the most about your new house so far is all the great interior trim, moulding, and doors! Nice.
karen says:Oct 20, 2012 at 8:16 am
I would also start by giving a big punch of color to the doors first and maybe the shutters, too, to tone down the tan and add character and color. The tan isn't bad, but, it's just A LOT OF TAN. Once you add all of your awesome design accessories, the tan may not scream at you so loudly.
Jennifer says:Oct 20, 2012 at 9:51 am
Ha! I knew you were planning on painting the exterior. I was thinking an off white with dark shutters would look great. The only thing about white is it gets so dirty so fast. I just repainted my trim white last week and it's already dirty! The body of my house is painted a medium blue-gray and it's held up well. When it was a dark gray I noticed it would look faded in spots from the sun. Medium paint colors are nice because it's less maintenance, but I love white for your house. Just be sure to invest in a pressure washer!
gena says:Oct 20, 2012 at 9:59 am
I am so gald to see this post….I am building a similar house and I am really having a hard time choosing paint colors, my builder suggested a dark grey but I was thinking the same as you..the outside of my house which must match the outside, the inside of my house is white kitchen trim and darker wood floors. I really wanted a lighter grey for the outside of our house and I love your color choices and everyones suggestions. I am having trouble finding the color antique marble…is that from sherwin williams?
Angela says:Oct 20, 2012 at 12:17 pm
I think they might've meant Ancient Marble…it's by Sherwin William, yes. It's a really pretty green/grey. The code is SW6162.
barbara says:Oct 22, 2012 at 9:44 pm
Sorry, It has been a few years since we painted that house, Yes, the color is Ancient Marble as Angela said.
I know how hard it is to visualize so if you need anymore references, I would be willing to email you a picture of our old house if interested.
blessings on your new home
gena says:Oct 23, 2012 at 4:56 pm
Yes, Barbara I would love to see some photos!!! My email is [email protected]
Jess Schweitzer says:Oct 20, 2012 at 1:16 pm
I have a 1933 A&C Bungalow and it needs a paint job, but I almost (almost!)think sometimes I just want to vinyl side the thing. That is how much I hate keeping up the paint job! It's a tough decision to decide on another color because it's such a big investment. Time and money. I was thinking grey, black, cream combo. IDK:/
Angela says:Oct 20, 2012 at 2:00 pm
Layla, love the house! Question, it seems very big for only a two bedroom? Looking forward to all the changes.
Layla says:Oct 20, 2012 at 2:08 pm
Thank you, Angela! I'm not sure exactly how to answer your question (?), but here are some links to the posts about floor #1 and floor #2:
We're looking forward to creating a work station for me one the first floor, soon!
KimC says:Oct 20, 2012 at 2:15 pm
I think a black door would be hot!
Amy says:Oct 20, 2012 at 2:54 pm
I think it's cool the way you can see what it would look like in a different color. I wish I knew how to do that!
Nita@ModVintageLife says:Oct 20, 2012 at 6:13 pm
First thing I thought when I saw the photo of the house the other day was…oh…they are going to HAVE to paint that. It is drab….drab…drab. Great looking house…it will come alive with new paint colors.
Lisa K. says:Oct 20, 2012 at 7:57 pm
I am so excited that you are blogging more frequently now that you have a new house! Your blog is the first one I check during my computer time and I'm looking forward to all the updates on your new cottage. Your style is so fresh and everything you do is just a "yes" & "amen"!
Tracy says:Oct 20, 2012 at 8:02 pm
Congratulations on your new home! It's absolutely lovely.
I often dream of a front door painted tiffany blue…oh to dream….
I'm a condo dweller so that won't be happening for me anytime soon! lol
Your ceiling though is just screaming for a blue……maybe Tiffany Blue!
Whatever you decide, I can bet on anything, it will be gorgeous!
xoxo Tracy
Claire says:Oct 20, 2012 at 9:27 pm
Curious …. What color is your roof? We can't tell in your picture.
Layla says:Oct 21, 2012 at 7:57 am
Silver metal!
Claire says:Oct 21, 2012 at 9:30 pm
Well there you go. That goes with everything!
Grace @ sense and simplicity says:Oct 20, 2012 at 9:51 pm
That was so diplomatically put. I always worry about offending people too. That being said, I love your new colour choices.
Teresa says:Oct 21, 2012 at 12:35 am
How exciting! I can't wait to see what all you're going to do with this wonderful home! BTW I live right down the street from you, well kinda, I'm between Prattville and Montgomery!
jolieanne says:Oct 21, 2012 at 8:53 am
I know I am not alone when it comes anxiously waiting for a few photos of the inside of your new home! Even if it is not your style right now it will be fun to see inside! I moved into a new house and no one had ever lived in it before so I had to change a lot.
But it wasn't too bad since there was no wallpaper or carpet.
But the kitchen tile was so 1990's looking 2 different colors
one was a border of chocolate brown tile! Love it now, just as you
will, too! I loved the way you had lovingly created your last home's interior.
Layla says:Oct 21, 2012 at 10:00 am
Hi! Thanks for visiting today! You can actually see pics of the inside of the house if you hit the "older" posts link at the bottom of this post. Lots of work to do to personalize it, but we're looking forward to it!
Ter'e Crow Lindsay says:Oct 21, 2012 at 10:10 am
What color are the houses on either side of you?????
Watch your mail……………..I am sending you 10 of my families OLD, tried and true recipes! Enjoy!!!!!!
Welcome to your new home!!!!!!!
Jenna at Homeslice says:Oct 21, 2012 at 11:08 am
Oh yeah. That looks so good!
Sandra Hughes says:Oct 21, 2012 at 12:53 pm
The new place is adorable. It instantly reminded me of a favorite historical place we visited. Abraham Lincoln's home in Springfield Illinois. So embrace that tan til your ready for that add on. I think a nice deep barn red side entry door would look wonderful. I thought you all would take the old house approach again but I love the fact that its newer. We need ideas on how to add character to a modern house.
Tanya says:Oct 21, 2012 at 6:02 pm
Love this and the greeny colour options you shared. Either will be perfect. I'd love to see a floor plan of your new home…. Please! Xx
StyleLinx says:Oct 21, 2012 at 7:14 pm
The light blue-ish white is charming. Can't wait to see what you pick!
Lorrie says:Oct 21, 2012 at 8:00 pm
I just painted my door a shade darker than a robin's egg blue and I love it. We have linen siding and dark brown shutters.
Carole says:Oct 21, 2012 at 8:14 pm
Paint colors are fun, but always difficult to choose (at least for me). lol
I am not a 'tan' person, but then every new home being built in our area is painted some shade of tan or brown. Why any builder in Oregon would paint a house those colors is beyond me.
Have fun choosing (and ultimately deciding)!
Rebecca says:Oct 22, 2012 at 11:41 am
Your neighborhood is so neat! I'd love to live there! I hope the moving in is going well!
Kate says:Oct 22, 2012 at 12:57 pm
I really like your house just as it is! It looks restful, peaceful and very welcoming. If you want change, maybe, the shutters, doors, and porch ceilings to start. The exterior looks great! The plants, brick wall, etc. Have fun!
KerryQ says:Oct 23, 2012 at 3:16 pm
Put me in the tan camp. I love that tone-on-tone look. Of course I'm writing this in a 1780 Greek revival home. (that's white with Exeter green shutters-go figure)
Barb. Morrissey says:Oct 24, 2012 at 12:25 am
I recently update my cottage kitchen. I have tried all sorts of paint and colors wanting to keep the cottage look. Asmtimewent on I realized that no paint would cover te damaged wood. So I decided to move from my light color choices to a darker Taupe. The cabinets look amazing and I think they still fit with my cottage themed home.
Lisa says:Oct 25, 2012 at 10:04 am
Love the new color combo. Can't wait to see what y'all do!
Christine says:Oct 28, 2012 at 1:27 pm
Love the metal roofs!
Cathy Mercer says:Sep 8, 2013 at 7:46 am
Our house is white on white basically. We are considering painting it a slightly warm color and we love the color that you've posted here. My question is about the trim on your house. Is it all wood, and paintable. We have alot of the metal covering over our trim, which I hear isn't paintable, or at least it won't last. Wondering how house house will look with the warm distant mountain color, but very white trim. Will they compete? Any thoughts? THanks so much, and yes very intimidating process!
Layla says:Sep 13, 2013 at 7:23 pm
Hi Cathy!
I'm SO not sure about exterior colors! I will definitely be consulting with a professional painter when it comes to painting this place- LOL!

(11/08/12) - No shaving cream? No problem. It's 'No Shave November,' and for the fifth year in a row, staff members at Camp Copneconic in Fenton Township are growing "mo's" or "Novem-Beard's" to help send kids to camp.
"Everyone really gets into the spirit of the whole thing. You've got to be clean shaven on Nov. 1, but throughout the month, it's going to get harrier and harrier," said Tom Correll, Camp Copneconic resident manager.
Within Camp Copneconic, there's a secret society that has formed. It's not just the Mo-Bro's wearing these luscious lip jackets. There's even a whole section of Mo-Sisters.
"It took a lot of work, but it's finally coming in," said Elizabeth Hudson, staff member.
"It looks great, I think.Yes, it does," said staff member Alyssa Kwasman.
Along with the Flint YMCA's Partner with Youth Campaign, Camp Copneconic has several fundraisers planned throughout the month - including a disc golf tournament on Nov. 18.
"We're shooting for around $5,000. Every $250 sends one kid to overnight summer camp here. We want to send at least 20 kids to camp just through the efforts this month," Correll said.
One week in, those stashes and beards are starting to slowly fill in. Each has a style of its own.
"It would have to be Tom Selleck from Magnum PI," said Hunter Comack, staff member.
"I'm going with the classic 1800's look, some of the President's, Abraham Lincoln," said staff member Michael Buckley.
'No Shave November' wraps up with a big dinner and shave-off auction on Nov.26 at Nuevo Vallarta in Grand Blanc.
"We could be yours. Come out and buy us at auction, maybe shave some lightning bolts," Buckley said.
"Yes, I could be yours. Come take this off my face and there's this nice baby face you'll see underneath. Please, please, please," Comack said.

Indiana's former Superintendent of Public Education is out of a job again.
Tony Bennett was soundly beaten by Glenda Ritz.
It was a clear rejection of Bennett's policies.
Bennett is now quitting his current job of Florida's education commissioner due to allegations that he changed the grade of a charter school run by a major Republican donor while he worked here in Indiana.
Emails published by The Associated Press this week show that Bennett and his Indiana staff scrambled last fall to ensure Christel DeHaan's school received an A, despite poor 10th-grade algebra scores that initially earned it a C.
During a news conference where he announce his resignation, he said that he did nothing wrong but that he didn't want to be a distraction to Gov. Rick Scott's efforts to overhaul Florida's education system.
Bennett is calling for Indiana's inspector general to look into the allegations because he is certain he will be cleared of wrongdoing.
With these allegations against Tony Bennett, attention is starting to turn to his wife Tina Bennett.
She is employed by the for-profit company Charter Schools USA.
That company was hired to take over three Indianapolis schools last year while Tony Bennett was still running the state education department.
The company says that Tina Bennett only worked with company schools in Louisiana-- not Indiana or Florida.
The company said that was due to the potential perceptions that could arise.

When I first found out, I was enthralled for several hours by the fact that the floats in the Rose Bowl Parade were made of flowers, seeds and plant parts. Then I got over it and couldn't think of any other reason to ever think about the floats again.Until this morning, when I came across this story:
President Ronald Reagan has inspired what's being billed as the first-ever Rose Parade float with a presidential theme, and it's in honor of the former California governor's 100th birthday.
Sounds historic to me. Another sign that the Obama WH is in disarray. They missed the opportunity for this first. Maybe once they get wind of it, Barry will horn in on the Reagan float the same way our hulking enormous First Lady horned in on Laura Bush at the PA 9/11 ceremony. There's not much more to the story at that link …
" … it features replicas of 11 black-and-white photos of moments in Reagan's life, and those photos have been constructed by hand out of onion seed, poppy seed and rice. "
… so let's make up our own. Let's just say that there was an Obama float in the Rose parade. What kind of flowers, seeds or plans would it be made of? Feel free to use the suggested items from the list below or make your own additions. Alterations in spelling and clarifying additions most heartily welcomed.

Comments are taken from the Care Provider section of the Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Comments are posted exactly as they are written. Comments are added weekly. To protect patient privacy and confidentiality, patient names are not included.
Excellent care received.
Took good care of me.
Dr. Bohl had an ambiance about her and a reassuring 'bedside' or patient-to-doctor manner which is usually seen in Physicians which are 20yrs older or more. i.e. more hands on experience.
Huge fan of Dr. Bohl in every respect.
Love Dr. Bohl, she took on my case after a provider at another facility effectively gave up on healing my fistula. She cares, she's thorough, and talks to me on a level I'm comfortable with (more advanced than some patients). Any surgical needs I have that fit within her scope of practice I will definitely be seeking out her care.

The Creative Class and Regional Growth: Towards a Knowledge Based Approach
AbstractResearch in regional growth has been characterised by two trends in recent years. The first is that creativity and talents are seen as parameters for regional growth. The creative class approach has argued that competition for talents has increased as innovation becomes crucial for maintaining competitiveness. This has forced local and regional authorities to implement new political actions toward supplementing the traditional business orientated policies with policies orientated towards attracting and retaining people. The second trend argues that regional analysis and policy-making need to be disaggregated to meet the diverse needs of different regions and due to the particularities characterizing innovative industries drawing on different knowledge bases. This paper argues that combining the understanding of knowledge on a disaggregated level that characterizes the knowledge base approach and the perspective on talent that the creative class approach represents provide a promising framework for regional analysis.

The New York Jets had expressed some interest in wide receiver/return specialist Josh Cribbs during the offseason, but they ultimately chose to pass on the former Cleveland Brown. However, now that kick returner Clyde Gates is suffering from a shoulder injury, the Jets revisited the veteran to provide a safety net on special teams.
Now, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Jets have agreed to sign Cribbs to bolster their return game.
Cribbs won't make any impact for the Jets on the offensive side of the ball, but he could probe to be a good signing if his number is called in Week 7.
Gates' status for this week's game is uncertain, so there is a chance that Cribbs could return to the field to see some special teams action.
The Jets looked dreadful in all areas of the game last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who defeated New York for their first win of the season, so the Jets will take a spark on any side of the ball that they can get.

Recipe: Pumpkin Tortilla Soup
Recipes from The Kitchn
Tortilla soup is something we enjoy any time of year but especially in autumn, when we savor the warmth of chiles and cumin and toasty corn tortillas. This vegan version of the soup also incorporates seasonal ingredients like pumpkin and fall harvest avocados.
One might not expect a meatless tortilla soup to be very hearty, yet this is actually quite satisfying without animal, or even soy, protein. Pumpkin puree (made from scratch or canned) and cubes of avocado add creamy richness and balance the soup's tomatoes and spice. Tortillas appear not only as crispy garnish but they are also cooked into the soup, infusing it with texture and flavor.
Pumpkin Tortilla Soup
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup finely chopped cilantro, plus more sprigs for garnish
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Chile pequins, other dried hot peppers, or cayenne pepper to taste*
1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
5 cups unsalted vegetable stock
1/2 teaspoon salt
Vegetable oil for deep-frying
1-2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and cubed
Cut 6 of the tortillas into 1/2-inch squares.
Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion, garlic, cilantro, and chopped tortillas and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is soft.
Add cumin and crushed peppers or cayenne and sauté for another minute.
Add pumpkin, tomatoes, vegetable stock, and salt and stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for one hour.
While the soup is simmering, cut the remaining 6 tortillas in half and then into 1/4-inch-wide strips. Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Fry tortilla strips in two batches until crisp and light golden (about a minute). Using a slotted spoon, transfer tortilla strips to towels to drain.
To serve, ladle soup into bowls and garnish with tortilla strips, avocado, and cilantro.
*You can tailor the type and amount of hot pepper to your own tastes. We usually make this with a couple of crushed chile pequins but have also used cayenne pepper, which is more readily available. If you're not sure how much to use, start with 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne, taste the soup after it has simmered for awhile, and then add more if desired.

I know what I'm doing with my leftover pumpkin puree this weekend :)
Just an FYI for those who like spicy foods: this soup tasted especially delicious with a couple of drops of habanero hot sauce added to it. And yes, it tasted as good as it looks up there (very hearty)!
I'm going to try removing some of the tortillas and replacing them with hominy!
oh, man -- I am heading off to the market for some pumpkin and avocados -- I have to eat this for dinner!
Hmm, would this work with a different winter squash? I've got two different ones from my csa that I need to use up. I think I've got an acorn and something else. Maybe it would be sweeter, but do you think it would work?
This looks delicious and will be "on deck" for dinner w/in the next few days.
Would parsely do alright to substititue for the cilantro in this?
Cilantro... ick.
Mally, I'd just leave out the cilantro if you don't like it. I will be adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice when I make this - can't wait, it sounds delicious!
Why the constant caveats around vegetarian food? "One might not expect a meatless tortilla soup to be very hearty, yet this is actually quite satisfying without animal, or even soy, protein." I've been vegetarian for 11 years, and I can tell you without a doubt that if the food hadn't been "hearty" I wouldn't have made it a month. There's nothing unfulfilling about good vegetarian cooking.
@careyschw As a lifelong vegetarian myself, I certainly agree with you that "There's nothing unfulfilling about good vegetarian cooking." I wrote that "caveat" because tortilla soup usually contains meat (or meat substitutes), and also to reflect the many comments I have received from people who thought this soup was surprisingly filling. Anyway, hope you enjoy if you try the recipe!
I made this tonight for dinner with a pumpkin we didn't carve for Halloween... It was fabulous! I added a cup of wine wine, and some roasted green chilies from the farmers market.. just great! My husband ate THREE bowls! Also, I only used about one Tbsp of Olive oil and toasted the corn tortillas under the broiler with excellent results, frying is nice, but messy and fatty :)
This is surprisingly amazing savory goooooood. I love the veg alternative to amazing chicken tortilla soup, and it is beyond easy to make. The pumpkin was much more subtle that I anticipated amidst the tomatoes and vegetable broth, but this soup is remarkable and healthful! What a great find-- thank you!
I hardly ever go back to comment about recipes — but I had to for this one. I made it last night with adobo chilis, and it was fabulous, just a perfect November/December warming soup. I'm almost disappointed to be going out to a (nice) lunch today, because I'd rather be eating this as leftovers!
amazing soup... thank you! everyone loved it except the 5 year old that just ate the cilantro, avocado and tortilla strips. go figure.
Great recipe! I didn't have any of the chili peppers on hand but I did the following changes to the recipe with fantastic results:
- 2 tsp. chili powder (instead of 1)
- 2 tsp. cumin (instead of 1)
- 1 c. white wine
- 3 chipotle chili peppers in adobo sauce (seeds scraped out)
- 3 cans of organic pumpkin puree
- a generous sprinkle of Celtic sea salt to bring out the flavors
After the soup simmered for about 30 minutes, I used my immersion blender to combine the ingredients a bit more. I continued to let the soup simmer 30 more minutes before serving. I also followed one of the suggestions to broil the tortilla strips instead of frying them. I also had fantastic results with this tip.
The following day's leftovers were even better. The flavors definitely came together more.
Made these modifications -
- half a diced onion (not a whole one)
- 3c chicken stock, not 5c veg stock
- used 1teas red chili flakes and 1teas cayenne
- added a can of drained & rinsed black beans
the avocado (and a little shredded cheese) totally makes it. super delish, will definitely make this one all winter.
Made this tonight. Changed some things: 2 cans hominy instead of tortilla strips, only 4 cups veg broth, 1 diced jalapeno including seeds plus a sprinkling of cayenne. Used one can of pumpkin puree, but would do two next time.
So delicious. The hominy made it wonderfully hearty.
This was delicious! However I added black beans for some protein. I also added corn & used a can of diced jalepeno "marinated" tomatoes from Fresh & Easy. Perfect touch & didn't need any additional spice (except the cumin, of course). DELISH!
This was so so so good! The only thing I did differently was added probably a little more onion, garlic, and cumin ( We love spicy here, lol) and added a can of black beans, as the poster above mentioned.tastes great in this soup! I also didn't use the tortillas, instead baked up some cilantro pepperjack (used daiya) cornmuffins. :)
