It's not a fake, hokey, rural look. When my Great Grandfather (and on back for several generations of "greats") and our relatives were over there in the hills weaving baskets all winter long, they really looked forward to being able to take them to Nashville to an appropriate looking place to sell them to the tourists coming in from Indianapolis and Chicago.
Their livelihood depended on the place looking the way it looked ~ not like an IHOP!
Today Nashville is in the throes of a revival of it's "art colony" traditions. One individual must not be allowed to destroy this.

I swear the house glows in the dark!

Rigid adherence to the specified color palette is vital, and must be enforced with the full weight of law in an Art Colony. Otherwise it may interfere with the artistic creativity.
