We're just picked Monterey White (Benj Moore HC-27) for our house (although we might just continue to remove the paint and leave it rustic). I have seen the color on a house in my neighborhood, and it is fantastic. I think it would go great with your color because it has a hint of grey in it. Sue

The existing (sage?) looks nice.

thanks! grey-greens now that's an idea, I will look into it! nothing is really finished yet but I'll try and post a good shot of the kitchen and bathroom soon. the pink bathroom was definitely what clinched the place for me!

zach, the advice I gave doesn't have to be expensive. a lot of what I suggested is perfectly doable for young, able-bodied people. I know because I've done it on my own home. If all you want is a trim color to go w/soot, pick something like Simply White or Behr Swiss Coffee. (I prefer Behr paint to BM, believe or not). Why not get some samples and do a portion of the house so you get an idea how it looks? I only mentioned the hedge so you could actually see the front of your house and the colors you're painting. Around your front door area I would sand that wood, stain it a cedar color, seal it, and have the natural wood color. it will look a lot better than doing a dark color around that recessed door. I also mentioned doing the Romabio masonry, and not the limewash. if you like the mcm look, do a full coverage and not a limewash.
