The Landreth family recently found themselves facing a serious decision - what color should they repaint their home? They quickly realized that this decision is tougher than it seems. That's when they decided to think outside the box - instead of picking the color themselves, the Landreths created an online poll where their neighbors could vote for their favorite color by scanning a QR code outside the family's home.

In an interview with KGW8, Brian Landreth joked that the family didn't want to be "that neighbor with that bright ugly house that everyone sees every day".

That's when the man came up with the idea of starting an online poll. He placed a sign outside the family's home that said "Help us choose a color" along with a QR code that linked to a Google Docs page, and soon enough the votes started pouring in.

Also, it turns out that the online poll not only helped the family pick the color for their house but also helped their daughter Grace with her homework.
