Color: Counterintuitive Paint Trim

Happy charmer, below.  Makes me want to go inside. 
.
See a change, an easy change too, making the roof higher and house taller?
.
Once I tell you the change, you won't believe me.
.
But, true nonetheless.
.
Know?


Pic, above, here.
.
Paint the trim at roof line, a tone darker than the siding or a darker tone from the roofing material.  Seems counterintuitive.
.
White jumps forward, and pulls down, at roof line.  Darker tones heighten a home by a 1', or more.  Promise.
.
Can't finish without mentioning the 'Welcome' sign.  Banal.  Dinky is Stinky.
.
Especially here.  The front door is screaming 'Welcome !' with incredible class & elegance.  Why diminish that impact?
.
Be wary putting words into your garden.  Can be done well, but with care.

More rabbit holes in this photo.  Those delicious lights, too perfect.  But, that is gardening.  Layers of delight here.
