Any advice would be appreciated! Exterior paint / Stone porch
Comments (46)Grover any chance you can show me what it would look like with no railing and pulling the left side of the steps a bit more to the left (towards the end of the window) i was just looking at greige color schemes and I’m feeling super over whelmed. looks like a darker warm brown with a light grey compliments and contrasts with each (went through your color schemes) so now im thinking... the silver traverntine for the top of the steps and the top of the porch with a more brown stack stone color for the pillar, and light post? Or should I reverse it? Make a darker slate for the top of the porch/steps and a lighter grey with warm tones for the stack stone? God... I’m going crazy...See MoreNeed help/advice on exterior paint, windows and garage doors
Comments (0)Front of house - from the street Back of house - this shows all three windows going on ... original gray on left new black french door 3 year old white picture windows Front door - this is on the side of the house and can't be seen from the street I'm a first time home owner in Denver, CO. My house was hit by a hailstorm and I'm having to make big decisions quickly. I really don't want to screw up - a lot of these decision will have to last 10+ years and each decision might influence the others. I'm very excited not to have a pink house much longer! I'm leaning towards a creamy white with black accents and wood-looking garage doors? Here's what's going on: - the roof has already been replaced and I went with a dark charcoal shingle. From the street you can't really see my roof - New Milgard French Doors were installed in the back. The exterior is black and somewhat modern - There are two big picture windows that are newish - they are white. The 2nd photo shows both - I just bought two black barn lights to over the garage doors - https://www.lampsplus.com/products/warehouse-10-inch-high-black-gooseneck-outdoor-wall-light__9c417.html Problems: - the front of the house is all garage, so the garage doors are very important. Right now they are basic white. - there's no front porch and you can't see the front door to paint it a fun color. - there's not much architectural interest to the house. Will white be too bland? - the windows in the front don't have enough space to put shutters on Decisions I need to make: - exterior paint color - garage doors. It will probably be a couple years before I can afford new ones, but I want to paint my house with new ones in mind. - windows - black or white? I love my new black French doors and I was thinking of getting black windows, but they're much more expensive. Much more. I appreciate any and all help and feedback!

Comments (9)IMO white would be very appropriate for the house but you need to remove the stone IMO first . Not one house maylee posts is anything like yours and honestly IMO yours needs to be one color . I also think you need huge plant pots filled to overflowing with plants that flower and all placed on that huge patio surface Black windows and doors would be awesome but not cheap. IMO a contrasing trim will cheapen the house and its style I love long ranch style houses and IMO look best when all elements are kept simple...See MoreNeed Advice on Home Exterior Paint - TYIA
Comments (7)Thank you all for the advice. I think I am going to keep it in the same scheme. I am going to do a little less yellow (still cream) on the trim/facia and either a warmer green or greyish green on the siding. WIll try a few see how I like it. Below are the three colors I think I like. Will make the decision once I try it on the actual house, as the lighting and a proximity to the warm stone/brick will definately change the look....See Moreemmarene9
