Beach Cottage Needs Exterior Paint Makeover: Help!
Comments (0)At a loss here, folks! I'm terrible at visualizing and gave up on trying to sketch in colors myself on the Ben Moore or Sherm Williams websites. Would loooovveeee if someone out there could give it a whirl! Kindly seeking your suggestions for body and trim colors for this waterfront beach house in a New England fishing community. Neighboring home is brown cottage (see pic) and would love to somehow tie two homes together, but without making the main house brown. Most homes are weathered shingles..grey, dull. Would like to stay with light, warm colors...no yellows or blues. Thanks in advance....See MoreTotal exterior makeover!! Help needed!!
Comments (8)I like your ideas. I think a medium charcoal gray or weathered wood roof would look nice. I wonder if you could set the addition back about two feet with a square bump out in the middle. The roof line could be lower than the main house. Inside, it could be a vaulted ceiling. Clad it in clapboards or flat panels with trim; see the section next to the garage below. This is an example of the setback and the center bay, although not the same style as you house. Of course no Gambrel roof....See MoreNeed help! The exterior of my house is flat and outdated!
Comments (21)The brick is only on that front facade And chimney. The other three sides of the house are white siding. My problem with the brick is it isnt a nice brick I feel it is dated. I am attaching a detail photo. Ultimately, I would love to transition to a different style but I don’t think that will happen for a while so I guess I am looking to improve what we currently have, while also getting ideas for what could be done in the future. Thank you all so much. Your advice and opinions are much appreciated....See MoreHelp needed with exterior makeover!
Comments (3)I'll show you some others below, but here is a similar layout like yours all brick. the roof makes a huge improvement, as do landcaping, garage door, and the siding around a new door. Pale Gray and Hardie Rockport gray siding (brick/batten) celerygirl did this before and after is this what you had in mind? again, landscaping is 75% of the overall curb appeal your pic is too tiny for me to any real photoshop, but try taking a look over at Board And Batten, before and afters if you painted (with Romabio) the brick white or charcoal, and did this color scheme, new doors, you get something like this another version this one is Iron Gray and SeaPearl...See MoreKatie Curran
