Mike,

They all look so nice, and I like that terminology.

Dick,

Once you get the "5, 4, and a door," it gives you a pretty good clue, doesn't it?

Thanks for stopping in.

Those are all over Charlotte, too-I never used that phrase before but you can bet that I will now. =)

Leigh,

Use it to your heart's content!

:D

Mike, Being born and raised in Boston, Colonials have always had a place in my heart. As a kid, I especially loved them at the Holidays with their candles in the windows, and a spotlight shining on the front door graced with a wreath or garland..and of course a blanket of snow on the ground!

Mike,

5, 4, and a door - never heard that before.  You have some great examples of colonial style homes here.  I like Craftsman and Victorian styled homes myself.  

Ginger,

Thanks for coming by.  These are very gracious homes, and the Christmas decorations seem so appropriate.

Rita,

I heard the "5, 4, and a door" about 5 years ago, from a couple of different people.  It is definitive, isn't it?  Thanks for reading and checking in...
