Ok can I just say... Steven! I've got you scheduled for first thing in the mornin to start building my new coops! Lol! Nice job!

I'd probably go with the white trim. I also like the idea of a mural or sponge painting a contrasting color over it (you could sponge white or some different shade of blue). You could also do some stenciling on it.

Whatever you do, be sure to show us the after pics!

I didn't read all of the responses on this thread but do you have enough blue paint left that you could mix some white paint (make sure it is the same type of paint) in with the blue then repaint the building?

How about some garden Gnomes with their faces painted blue to keep with the theme. Kind of like "I meant to do that!"

LOL! I had a lot of help! Everyone pitched in because we just wanted to get it done, it was around 99 in the shade and 100 in direct sun when we were building that coop!

It was aweful I tell ya! But we want them to stand the weather and time here.

ETA: That wasn't including the humidity...

well I have told my hubby I like moroccan architecture...maybe some tiled peak-arched windows? a little pool with a tiled fountain? a covered enclave with pillars at the front?
maybe I can get my brain around this blue yet...
'cause I really *want* a moroccan village for my birds ! ! !

Hey! Look what I ran across! Maybe some inspiration for your coop?

You could embrace the wildness, and go with the complementary bright orange on one side!...or make it look like the inside of a cracker barrel restoraunt and hang stuff all over the walls

Exactly!

That's why I suggested adding a little of the blue paint to white! It does NOT work the other way around.
