Help! I need help choosing exterior paint colors!
Comments (0)We are wanting to paint the side on our house but leave the brick as is for economical reasons. I am stumped on what colors to choose that will also compliment the brown brick and roof. I am wanting to do a darker siding color and a light trim color. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate!!...See Moreneed help with paint Color to paint exterior brick wall!

Comments (3)Hi Mary, normally I don't approve of nonfunctional shutters. But in your case I think the dollhouse trim is cute and unusual, sort of a European ski chalet look; if it were mine, I would keep it and play up its quirkiness. I think your siding needs to be more of a grayed brown, not so reddish, so that it will go better with the roof and the brick of your chimney. Then you could use the sage green that Patricia suggested for all the trim. (But I would paint the garage door the same color as the siding because it's not something you want to emphasize. I also like the idea of adding windows when it's time to replace it) It looks as though you have a picnic table on your deck; I would paint it sage green also, and maybe add some Adirondack chairs in the same color, and little cone-shaped evergreen trees in the planter boxes. Is your front door on the deck, or could you show us a pic of where it is? It's already a charming house; just be sure to try out large samples of paint in different lighting conditions before you make a final decision on color....See MoreExterior paint/color help needed.
Comments (4)The green of your siding look good on your house, how about painting the window trim (instead of getting into painting brick) as well as the garage door. Black would rejuvenate the look of your home. We can't see what your front door looks like so I put one in with sidelights but it should be black. I also suggest to install a larger black sconce and large numbers below. You also need to either trim or replace the shrubs that hide your front entrance (lower shrubs or perennials)....See MoreAli Cummins
