what color should i paint my house?
Comments (7)I like the overall color - if it were my house, I'd get an estimate for removing the rock and adding brick (something white-ish to go with the siding) and then add charcoal (same as your door) as your trim color. If you don't want to do the brick, maybe add cedar planks.......See MoreWhat color should I paint my house?
Comments (6)I would redo it with a bigger focus on the future roof than the one you have now. I’d paint the siding white and the brick I would white wash. And paint the front door black...See MoreWhat color should I paint my home exterior?
Comments (23)Kiimela, it just depends on how white you want the white. Alabaster and greek villa are warmer whites that lean a little yellow. make sure to get some samples and bring them home.

Also have a rental house w/Swiss Coffee and black trim.

Or do the charcoal. just do a dark color for the trim against the white...See MoreWhat color should I paint my house?
Comments (9)Personally would NOT want the house to look larger and like the traditional vibe you have now just fine -- actually much prefer it to the "modern farmhouse" fad -- that, too will pass. You have a really nice house and yard and I like the siding color you have with the white windows and dark shutters. White shows dirt and wear and imperfections a lot faster than the really nice natural/neutral siding color you now have. Would go with your original instinct -- removing the shutters only to repaint the existing siding your choice of color. While the shutters are removed, take a long look at the house and take some pictures of it. Did you prefer it with shutters; and if so, ( I likely would) then put them back on....See MoreMikayla Carpenter
