What?!? Actually, I have seen that house advertised somewhere. I will assume that imitation is the most genuine form of flattery. We did not choose the name The Conch Out. The previous Conch Out (from whence the sign came) was one of the old Butler cottages and it was washed off its foundations by Hurricane Opal. I have always heard that it is bad luck to change the name of one's house, so The Conch Out it has remained. We always hate it when the name is mispronounced, with the "ch" not sounding as a "k," as it is with the shell. Sounds nasty that other way, doesn't it? :oops:

I think "the other The Conch Out" is for sale.

As of about 5 mintues ago, the five other peas and I will be the next-door neighbors to the real Conch Out in June! Hooray!
Thanks to all of you who recognized Donna's house in the photo! :clap_1:
Donna, any chance you'll be around June 10-17?

That is the one. It is a great house, too. I like it. I stole a few ideas from that one.

Pretty soon now, you won't be recognizing The Conch Out by its mauve blush. We are having it painted. All ideas for color schemes are welcome. The one currently leading is seafoam green with a khaki tint, with dark green for the French doors, white trim, and the decks will be stained a bit darker. The loser scheme was a yellowish-pink color similar to the inside of a conch shell, with coral blush French doors and white trim. It sounded suggestive to some. Oh, and the old Conch Out sign isn't dead, just getting a much-needed face lift from an artist in DeFuniak. I repeat...all suggestions about a suitable color scheme are welcome and we'll pop for a fabulous bottle of Napa Valley's finest for the winning suggestion!

Well, the "leader" color scheme is very similar to the one I'd suggest. I have a picture frame in my kitchen that has a color scheme I'm loving right now. It's a burlap shade of khaki, a dark forest green and a sort of chartreuse (not too loud). I attempted to take a couple of shots of it with not much luck, but here's one:
