Exterior paint for dreary PNW area cape cod style home; plantings?
Comments (9)Lars, I like that color, I'm just a little afraid to do it! Here are my concerns. Thoughts? *Getting the right dark blue--sometimes I feel like you think you have the right color and then when the whole wall is painted, it looks turquoise, or too dark, or... *the white trim--I've never had white trim--only white vinyl windows which replaced white aluminum windows, and also white gutters. The gutters and the old aluminum grew mildew/algae. Will trim also go green with time in a place that sees gray skies up to 8 months a year (no joke) *the dark blue--any concern with oxidation/discoloration (but esp oxidation)? I've thought I'd probably only upgrade to the Aura for a dark color, as the way the guy described the difference between the 2 was how the solids are mixed/suspended between them (at least, that is what my lay-self took from his description)....See Moreexteriors light for a cape cod style home

Comments (3)I like the colors on this Cape Cod house shown below. Your roof is close already. Could put new siding on over the brick I would think? Might want to beef up the roof overhangs just a bit on the dormers, making them a little more substantial? Could install a new door and add sidelights to the front door; don't think there's room for a top light like in sample below. Could paint the bay windows the yellowish color as shown?? Cut back the grass from the house in the front and add some landscaping (bushes, perennials, etc.) Good luck!...See Moreexterior colors for 1940s cape cod home
