A year and a half ago my husband and I built our dream home. It has a craftsman farmhouse feel and we had it painted a soft creamy white color with cedar accents. A new house was just built on the lot right next to us. The new owners chose to paint it bright white with darker stained wood accents. Our houses are only 10 feet apart. I love our home and the colors we chose but next to their house ours looks dirty and the wood looks faded. I absolutely believe everyone has the right to paint their house any color they like. I also know there are way bigger problems in the world to worry about, but I can't help but feel disappointed. We could repaint our house a different color but that feels a little ridiculous since it's less than two years old. It's also two stories so would take some extra effort to repaint. We haven't met these new neighbors yet but would like to have a great relationship with them. I'm sure they didn't choose those colors to intentionally make our house look bad. Am I a jerk to feel disappointed? Any words of advice to find peace with this situation and let it go? Or should I start calling painters? What would you do?
