Need help to unify and cozy up my space!
Comments (2)You have some great pieces of furniture, but the blue sofa is too long. Can you move it down the wall and bring the TV down from its perch to the left of the fireplace. Then bring the tan sofa closer to the fireplace away from the wall. I'd add a red, yellow or orange chair to a conversation group. Your art can go on the wall behind the blue sofa. Add colorful long drapery....See MoreDesperately Need Help with Trim and Accent Color
Comments (3)I always paint woodwork the same throughout the house. What color did you use? It might be fine with the edge comb gray. Absolutely no accent color on the wall. The room is broken up enough already. For accent color use something like this red…called Hot Apple Spice because you are seeing khaki undertones in the sofa. Keep that greenish tinge when you are looking for throw pillows. etsy.com...See MoreIn desperate need of help deciding on roof and exterior paint color!
Comments (0)I'm getting a new roof (thanks, hail!) and would love to part with the hideous brown shingles and exterior (see below). I'm looking for a good roof + exterior paint combo that fits a mid century vibe (the home was built in 1950 and has a very mid century vibe inside that I've kept original). The outside is not so mid century? But I want the house to be cohesive. The colors I use on the inside are predominantly charcoal gray, teal, aqua, white and yellow (if that matters). Heres a pic from the garage perspective as well: Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you! :)...See MorePainter comes next week, desperately need exterior paint color help
Comments (9)Your light gray colors are the wrong tone. the ones you have listed lean a little pink/taupe. your stone is more tan/golden. if you go w/something too light, it's going to look washed out. these are the tones of your stone. This evergreen fog color would look great w/your shake and the stone. I love this color on your garage doors (so some other sage green color) if you want light, try the neutral ground on the siding w/the tan shade on the trim. or vice versa. darker grays that have that green/brown undertone. all of these pair well w/the stone. I love the black w/the wood idea. Iron Ore or Wrought Iron. no cedar shake, but this has the stone facade w/the dark colors and trim so you get an idea. Your cedar would actually lend a lot of warmth to the party. if you want a little warmer, what about these? (Copper Mountain on the front door) Caramelized on the trim, the bronze on the siding. Urbane Bronze is another nice color for the siding. either of the two light ones for the trim/garage door,,,Cajun for the front door. Any of these Protege Bronze, Urbane Bronze, Nettle or Nocturne will give that dark shade, but since they all have brown undertones, will work well w/the stone and the cedar. Some other neutral tones....See Moreck_squared
