Shutter and Door Colors

[Bill Scott]

My partner and I just have gotten our first flip under contract. Here's a link here to a picture for as long as it stays up. http://www.homepath.com/listing?listingid=38180574 As you can see it's grey vinyl with a green asphalt shingle roof and faded black shutters. It's also almost invisble on a cloudy day. I'm looking for some color possibilities for the front door and shutters that make it more visually appealing and help it stand out. Any help is appreciated.

Karen, I like the idea of a red door. I was thinking green shutters, but then the red door might make the place look like Santa's workshop. Dark grey shutters solve that problem.

Randy, I think doing gutters and facia might be more than I want to do to the exterior. I'm thinking a good power washing, painting the shutters and doors, maybe a railing around the porch and some landscaping will be enough to make it stand out. I think we're all on the same page for the door color though.

Christopher, I like the idea of a couple colorful chairs to make the porch look homier. Thanks. Do you really think the "70's Show" kitchen needs updating? My partner is a builder and has great, inexpensive ideas for the inside.

Closing is supposed to be Friday. I'll post some before and after pics when we're done. Thanks for all your inputs.
