Comments (19)Just looking at your home again, Nina. It's really cute and while I agree with others that you could make a larger impact painting the whole house, I also realize that's not always in the budget. In the meantime, I'd take a que from Beverly's rendering and leave everything as is except I'd paint the portion above the door white to match the door and garage. The light fixture above the mailbox looks a little small so you could add something a little bigger and contemporary. You could install it a little more to the right to help balance the space since the door is off centered in that strip of siding. I'm not sure what your bushes are but I'd try to trim up the one to the left of the front door and probably replace the one to the right with something a little smaller. Small boxwoods below that front bottom window would look very nice. Edge out your beds and add some mulch, power wash your front stoop and sidewalk and it will give you a fresh look for your home. Whatever you end up doing I hope you enjoy it....See MoreWhat color should I paint my front door?
Comments (18)Pool, I thought I’d love the navy, not sure why I don’t! I like it in Deco’s example. Maybe it’s just the mock-up — the lighting, door style, etc. Mock-ups can help somewhat, but of course aren’t exact. You made a lot of good points. Different colors really influence the personality of the house in different ways. My fav is the California Chamois, or something like it. It looks fantastic with the stoop and brings life to the house without being garish. I don’t love every color I posted, but just wanted to show a variety. I think shutters (especially white) would look awful on this house because the windows are different sizes and too close together for them to look right. Kathleen, if you decide on white for the door, you could bring in color with pots. Such a charming house. :) I hope you don’t paint the bricks. They bring personality and character. White brick would stain easily, peel, etc....See MoreWhat Color Should I Paint My Front Door?
Comments (3)I like the color they are now. Is that stained wood? I guess you could paint them a bold salmon color, which would blend well with peaches and cream. Or navy. Is that synthetic green carpet on the entryway? It’s not very attractive, in this picture anyway....See Moredgo1223
