I'm no painting expert, but I'm not wild about putting latex over an oil product. I wonder if he can put a gripping product on first, or an acid to help the paint stick. Finally, is it that bad? Do the colors blend and go together better than you might think? Sometimes I over analyze colors and try to get it perfect when it looks great the way it is, if I try to see it from that perspective. I'd sure ask lots of friends who will give their honest opinion (and don't lead them to your conclusion when you phrase the question hah) and see if anyone else even notices it.

Hi CW, you did a great Job suggested the color for nmatela, looks great, is any one can suggested me what color vinyl siding and what type trim, the current plane is replace all the window to be white with white wrap boarder. white gutters but not sure about other color. help. MR.

Like Patricia, its the sea of asphalt that stops my eye. Then the jumbled plantings keep me from exploring further. The brick is not the issue, so you can save a lot of money right there. Tackle the real problems first. Have you considered taking your home in an Asian direction? Lighting could provide an interesting look for you.

Thank you for thinking of my post Kitch4me, I love that combination and the colors I’ve chosen fit in that arena. Thanks JT, I love the Cornwall Slate. I was considering something very close to that for the shutters, but am going light because I’m not able to sample my colors, at least that way they’ll be easy to change if needed. Wood doors are nice, but I’m not in a position to change the one I have. Painting the house is the last project on the list for a while. This is the palette I ended up going with….Svelte Sage for the siding, Ancient Marble from the same strip for the shutters, Moody blue for the door color and Rainwashed for the porch ceiling. The card in the pic is Dove White, but I’ll take a look at the Antique White for the trim. That was my Mom’s favorite white! Thanks!!
