The House
“Many houses in our neighborhood are white. We wanted ours to stand out, except we couldn’t go too wild — it’s a Colonial, after all! Dusty blue siding makes it special but still classic," say homeowners Michael and Emily Kimberly. A row of thick corbels beneath the eaves adds flair and gives the new house old-school cred.
In the yard, Michael and Emily went for a symmetrical look to match the balanced elements of their home. They planted Steeds upright holly on the far ends of each side, along with two camellia shrubs on either side of the porch steps that get pretty pink blooms in late fall. Dainty Franklin’s Gem Korean boxwood fill the beds at the end of the walkway.
