Dutch Colonial Revival from the 1920s
Body color chosen from an historic Sears Roebuck paint catalogue!

The owners of this 1920s Dutch Colonial Revival house in Interlaken , New Jersey desired

a light body color for their home because of its heavily treed location. A historic period yellow was selected. An off-white trip helped keep the look fresh.

The color details were concentrated on the porch area with a soft green and a brighter purple employed to focus attention on the splendid architectural details. These colors gave the house a crisp look evenin the full shade of summer.
