advice on exterior trim color for brown house
Comments (2)What a beautiful home! I do, however, think the house needs to be brightened up! I like the idea of adding stonework to the pillars on the deck, it would relate nicely with the garage. As for the trim colour, I'd suggest pulling a mid tone from the stone work and using that as your trim colour and perhaps for your garage door as well. I would definitely recommend using a pop of colour for the front door, or if you prefer neutrals, pick a colour a few shades away from whatever you end up pulling out of the stonework for the trim....See MoreNeed help with exterior color/design Brady bunch house!
Comments (34)Please don't be afraid to try something if you like it. The more you delve into your projects, the more experienced and creative you will get. And lukki for you, you have found the forum(s) early on. At the start a fixer upper can be really overwhelming, especially to someone without experience; I found it was easier to focus on one project at a time (like fixing the leaks in the roof) and was surprised at how quickly it started to come together. It wasn't as stressful that way too. You said initially you have the inside sort of figured out, I would love to know what you have planned and see pictures. I prefer older homes because they are usually more generous with storage and space, I bet the inside of yours has open and generous rooms with lots of potential. From the outside, it looks like a real gem in the rough. Which of the pictures are you drawn to? We bought a vacant foreclosure home in 2006. When I showed it to my DH and said I was in love, he thought I was nuts. But in my mind I could see most of it in it's finished state and it felt like home. We've come a long way, the interior is about 80% done, and right now we are focused on the exterior....See MoreBrady Bunch House for sale
Comments (12)This is right around the corner from my old house in Studio City. There are busloads of tourists that drive by here daily, and you can always find people with cameras lurking in front of this home. The price is pretty high for the condition it is in. But it's a desirable area where prices are soaring and there is a good chance it will be torn down. I truly hope the current owners insist on selling to someone who will merely restore it. The interiors obviously need some work - the kitchen was obviously updated in the 80s. But it would be a real shame if it was demolished....See MoreExterior Color advice for brown roof and white windows
Comments (5)So I did a little paint digitizer magic so you could get a feel for how it would look. I chose a light color for the main body just because it looks like you have a lot of shade. I also found some other schemes with darker paint. Lots of bright white trim seems to be a trend right now but always a classic look....See MoreRelated Professionals
