Anyone used or have any input on these Benjamin Moore paint colors?
Comments (37)Flo, would you happen to know if Samplize ships to Canada? I had looked into it a while back and didn't see anything on their site. ETA: Revisited the site and found the info! "For expedited, international, or lower volume orders, we have access to USPS commercial shipping rates and pass those savings on to you. Shipping costs are automatically calculated by USPS."...See MoreWhat colors would look good and update exterior trim?
Comments (27)C Renee- I have to chuckle when you ask me how we chose the sandstone color!! It's been a domino affect from the beginning! I would have changed the siding to a color I like better, but hubby said it would cost too much. Then he didn't want white windows because they are hard to keep looking clean, and then he got his way with the roof also. I have struggled with the look of the exterior for a loooong time and my husband hasn't wanted to spend the money on changing it!! I probably should have put my foot down years ago, but we had so many things that needed to be done, inside and out, I chose to spend the money on the inside, and he spent money on boat's and water toys!!!( we've enjoyed the lake stuff with our family, so that isn't a regret, just disappointing that we couldn't do both, financially.) Now, we are in desperate need of a new deck (that will cost a ton cuz it wraps around to front), a new sunroom, and landscaping. So, to answer your question ;-), I guess because hubby didn't want white windows, and I didn't want a dark brown window, this was what we ended up with!! Now, I am trying to hopefully achieve something more appealing to my eye with paint, since we need painting done. :-) And yes, the white garage doors are going!! whether hubby likes it or not!!! LOL (and yes, the color is a taupey gray on the anderson windows)....See MoreJakabedy personal before and after and general update thread
Comments (64)Glad you took advantage of the time to focus on yourself. Sounds like the divorce and dropping of toxic people freed up a lot of energy in your life for some exciting pursuits!! I have been there with the job stress. When a toxic person leaves the workplace or your life, or when you get a less toxic job, it can seem like you have dropped 100 lbs. without even dieting!! You look great. Hope you have even more fun the rest of the year!...See MoreLooking to update this mantle & paint fireplace brick. Suggestions?
