Want farm house look. White with black trim. Any paint ideas?
Comments (16)My concern with a black and white scheme and the look you are going for is this: the typical "modern farmhouse" or other white with black window houses generally have pretty balanced massing (if not nearly symmetrical on some elevation), and a uniform window size and placement. Your house, a 1970s rancher has a functionalist window placement, sizing and placing the windows based on the inside needs first, rather than the facade, and the windows are kind of small compared to wall area, which is also typical of the style of house you have. I am not sure but I think a pure black/white scheme would emphasize some things in not such a good way. I would consider reversing the scheme in a way and doing a grey house with white trim, unless you are going to enlarge the existing windows and add more. Or a white house with grey trim, not something so high contrast....See Morehi need help..i have no idea what color to paint my house room by room
Comments (12)You have a big job ahead! You must be excited. It is difficult to pick colors for someone else. Are you keeping your furniture and artwork? Also, I find it hard to see true colors with harsh overhead lighting. Lamplight is much more flattering to people and things. So many people are painting everything gray. It gives a home a very cool feeling. I do not ever recommend gray because I prefer warmth. It appears that you also like warmer colors. I would go with something less yellow. My " go to" color is SW Kilim Beige....See Moreideas for outside of my home
Comments (9)i love the stone and would keep the midcentury charm. it is warm in tone so to play it up and make it a feature i would paint the siding cream and when it comes time to replace the roof i would also do that in a warm tone (brown not gray or black). And then i would remove the overgrown landscaping and start fresh. for the garage i would paint it the same cream as the siding and if you want to make it a feature paint the raised panels in one of the stone colors otherwise all cream. and i would not add shutters for now and see how it looks....See Morepaint the outside of my home
