Siding Color Help for my Little Half Cape Cottage
Comments (30)3pinktrees-thanks so much! Im actually in the Northeast-Upstate NY to be exact...in a very country area! ILoveRed-thank you, I’m glad you got to see it! I had no idea this thread even still existed :). It’s amazing, as it took me 5 years to build and I’ve been in it for 5 years (and I am still not finished) so this thread was started about 1 year into it! shwshw- thank you as well-my goal was to build a simple, small, cottage like home :) Did you see the rainbow in the one pic? :)...See MoreSuggestions for exterior colors in siding and roof for a saltbox house
Comments (16)If your siding and trim are both true white, you could make your roof any color. To stay with the classic farm look, do keep the trim true white -- and not the glossy variety.

Comments (51)I have several in my home, and am working on the vignette on the mantle, but not satisfied with that one, yet. But here, in the kitchen: A half log attached to the wall with a tea set, a Greek-style vase, a blown glass glass, and some little critters you find at Tractor Supply/Agway. PS the main chicken coop has its own little vignette with chickens and a dinosaur up on a ledge. I glued those down. In the dining room, I have the following - from a distance, and just the sideboard itself. The duck is a wood decoy someone gave me, the watercolor came from the Bethlehem Fair a couple years back, The ceramic cat I painted and fired, The little boy is my great nephew (about a year ago). Finally, the hallway's terminal point. Colors are bad in this shot. The base color for much (not all) of my house is SW Canvas Tan, a warm off-white with no blues or purples in it. It is really a light canvas color! The oil painting my parents once had is more vibrant, too. At any rate, I was buying furniture at the stain-it-yourself place back in Connecticut for my move up here, and I saw that wood shelf. Had to have! The two outside pieces were once my parents', and the wood Buddha cat and the jade Buddha were gifts. I am waiting for a bit more sun, then I will see if I can get a good shot or two of my living room breakfront....See MoreNeed suggestions on detached garage not matching house siding
Comments (6)It's only my opinion, but the selection of that too-narrow lap siding doesn't suit the style of your home. Because the narrow siding 'telegraphs' irregularities in the framing of the home, narrow siding is often used on homes that have lots of trim that divide walls into smaller areas. You could select a siding that matches the same color to make the connection....See MoreMDLN
