Need help with exterior paint colors for 1920s Florida home
Comments (4)Your house is beautiful. I just painted my new craftsman in SW FL with Sherwin Williams 7726 Lemon Verbena for the hardie siding on top, SW 7733 Bamboo Shoot for the stucco on the first floor and SW 7730 Forestwood for the trim. I just personally love greens for a craftsman house but felt that with the light in FL, the greens had to be a bit cleaner and brighter than what is normally chosen for the rest of the country. (The trim isn't finished being painted.)...See MoreI need help picking paint colors for my house!
Comments (12)That's a realtor picture, so the paint doesn't look anywhere near that good in actuality. It probably hasn't been painted in 20-30 years, and it badly needs updating because it looks really old. I want something to pop when potential renters drive by, but I don't even know how to look for houses that have brick patterns like this for ideas....See MoreExterior color help needed for Florida house.
Comments (7)Still no definitive answer on the house color. I've been playing around with an online color program and have been able to eliminate some colors. Grays don't look right, Darker Tans and Dark Beiges blend too much with the roof. Blues didn't look right. Not going with stone, but shutters are an option. What is the opinion on this option? Kilim Beige Exterior, Alabaster Trim and Shutters in a shade of blue (Slate Tile pictured)? Open to different shutter colors too (seal skin, . Am I on the right track?? ANOTHER option that I just put together is Downing Straw, Alabaster Trim with Studio Blue Green Shutters (or a similar look). Only problems I see with going this route is the house diagonal from us is very similar to this color (minus the shutters) and husband is saying no to yellow again (2 of our previous houses were yellow)....See MoreUpdating the exterior of my South Florida home
