Front Door Color Change - Misfire #1
Comments (27)Loribee - that pic helps a lot! And Lazydaisy, I LOVE that Wythe Blue door - that has me thinking that maybe a more subdued aqua would work. It rained on and off yesterday, but today is supposed to be nicer - I think I will scoot out in a bit and get samples of 'polished slate' (a deeper teal) and 'sunflower' and maybe even 'wythe blue', paint up some paper - then put it to a vote here. Thanks so much for everyone's help!...See Morenewbie: Help pick color for 2 front doors?
Comments (4)Finally found a picture to share. See how my grey house just blends in...blah blah blah. The current door color is ?grey/teal? - kinda like a wannabe oxidized copper. Not attractive. les917: thank you very much for your response. Interesting about 2 different color doors. Now that you can see the house, do you still think I need 2 different colors to denote which is which? Because our walk-way to the front door is not very defined/welcoming, not many people use the front door. I thought about a deep rich blue, but should I find the matching shutters now? Really, by the time we do get the shutters, the front doors would need to be repainted anyway. Any tips on what paint to use? Is it any different from say painting a wall or a piece of furniture? Do I need to poly it or whatever to protect it from the rain/snow? again, thank you....See Morefront load washing machine Electorlux 1.5K, speequeen $2k Miele $2.5k?
Comments (27)OK! Speed Queen, delivered and installed, all taxes, "in the house sitting where is needs to be with old machine gone" price: $2,812.57 - (Canadian) this one https://ca.speedqueen.com/products/front-load-washers.aspx?mn=AFNE9BSP113CW01#build-your-own Has induction motor! Wow! That is real - deal thinking -cap on engineering- 5 year all in warranty and designed for 20 years. Not denying Miele also has some real - deal engineering and I would admit Miele probably even a better build but not a tank like Speed Queen. Miele- excellent but too small for the 120 volt one, and quite a bit of money - I noted comment about doing laundry all weekend. It was at least $500 more and it was tiny. So it was out. Electrolux - suitable machine no doubt about it- more features- very easy to use controls- unlike 'guessing at kind of' on the SQ.. And Elctrolux has alight in it -kind of neat! - and steam clean - an excellent machine. and could be installed for at or about $1,200 all in. So why not Electrolux but Speed Queen? 1, Vastly and self- evidently better build quality; 2, This! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor...See MoreColumns for the front porch and trim for the front door
Comments (8)The shapes, proportion and scale of the house in the photo are very challenging. The house is symmetrical, but the gable in the center does not have the same shape, pitch or fascia detail. The proportions of the house make adding a porch form (roof) challenging, as PPF suggests. Finally the scale of the porch and any columns should be sympathetic to the rest of the house. The columns in the first photo are much too small, while those in the second and third photos are much to bulky. A very careful study is need to see if and how a sympathetic porch may be added. If it was my house, I might be looking at a horizontal arbor or trellis type porch with appropriate detailed and scaled columns, rather than any sort of pitched roof. Google porch trellis or arbor for ideas. Good luck on your project....See Moretheballs
