One thing you could do to replicate the millwork on the balconies is to
build a railing along the sidewalk.

We could rip out that very plain iron railing that's there, and put up
something in its place. I did think about a low fence along the
plantings -- what's there will eventually be dug out and replaced with
azalea bushes - but I'm afraid it will get too busy visually.

It took us about twenty minutes of browsing through every paint chip
display at Home Depot, but we did manage to find preset colors from Behr
and Glidden that we are happy with. They are certainly not exact
matches but I believe they approximate Disney's look. We left a bit of
a mess behind in the paint department, but that's what those displays
are for, right?

They are:

Green - Glidden GLG09 "Sugared Lime"
Mushroom - Behr UL170-2 "Macchiato"
Blue (for outbuildings, to look like the Mill central building) - Behr
UL230-5 "Forever Denim"
Yellow - Behr UL150-12 "Pale Honey"

Actually we're not sure about the mushroom -- that "Macchiato" is a bit
too dark. Think we'll go back to the displays on that one. I'm sure
the clerks will roll their eyes when they see us coming.
