What paint color/trim to paint my exterior? Should I add shudders?!
Comments (14)I would try to convince her to 'uninsist'. That seems to blend into its site in its earthy color. A plus to my eye - And I am also in the PNW. She needs landscaping. My own ground here on the coast is too wet for spading and preparing new beds in January. And please note that the house behind and to the left are white. This house also white would be redundant....See MoreI am so horrible at this... What color should I paint my front door?
Comments (20)Like the pergola over the garage door idea. If built to be sturdy enough to walk on it, then it could serve as a fire escape route should the need ever arise -- certainly hope it never does. You might also consider painting your step rails and side supports the same color as your siding unless you're planning to have a wood finish door and/or a rustic porch and post addition over the entry at a later date, in which case you'd want those additions to have the same wood finish. (Might apply to any pergola over the garage as well.) https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=images+rustic+porch+and+post+entry&qpvt=images+rustic+porch+and+post+entry&FORM=IGRE...See MoreWhat color should I paint my cabinets?

Worried they will all clash or have too many shades of white going on. Help! :)...See MoreWhat should I do with my maple cabinets on my island, paint or stain?
Comments (9)First house had a kitchen with natural maple cabs. No stain. Looked great after 30 years, though they did yellow some..which is the nature of maple. Present house has bathrooms with stained maple cabs. While they’re not horrible, I did learn the hard way that maple can be very splotchy when stained....See MoreBeth H. :
