Comments (2)After removing as much of the paste as possible, do a coat of Gardz as a primer before painting. It will not interact with any residual paste to protect your paint job. It's available at the Home Depot. Here is a link that might be useful: Gardz...See MoreBleeker beige vs Shaker beige vs Manchester tan
Comments (7)I have Shaker Beige in all my hallways, staircase, kitchen, family room and one of the bedrooms. I don't find it blah. It works with the color schemes in all these rooms and with different flooring (tile or carpet). I like that it looks a little different at different times of day, or even in the different walls of the room depending on the direction of the light. I would say that it predominantly an orange beige, rather than a green or pink beige. Never muddy, which I think is a green beige. My home's windows face east and west. That said, do some boards and see if you like it in different lights....See MoreBeige vinyl windows and plantation shutters--I hate beige! HELP!
Comments (14)Random thoughts: - The outside looks neat as a pin. Clearly this house has been well cared-for, though I agree with the above poster that the landscaping is kinda dull. - The wall paper may or may not be a problem. When I moved into my current house, I immediately renovated the two bathrooms ... I pulled down the wallpaper from the large master bath in about 15 minutes, but I spent three days of misery in the similar-sized hall bath. Why? The walls in the master bath were "primed" before the wallpaper went up. ALWAYS prime your walls before painting or wallpapering. ALWAYS. More to the point: I hope your walls were primed. - I do like plantation shutters (and intend to have them in my new house), but they don't seem right for your 1970s ranch, and I don't think I'd like them in beige. I agree you should take them out ... but sell them on eBay or Craigslist. They're worth money. Don't bother painting them ... if I were buying, I wouldn't mind painting them. - As for the beige trim, it will be a monster to paint (or a monster-sized bill, if you pay someone to do it), but it's not hard work ... just tedious work. Since you're talking about color preferences, not functional needs, you don't have to do it all at once. - While you're painting things, I'd look at those dark brown gutter spouts. They seem to stand out in a bad way. - I like white-painted brick, and I think this house would look lovely if the wood trim above the windows were a light-to-midtone blue. - I'd think lose that wrought iron railing on the front ... maybe. I don't particularly like it, but it does fit with the house....See Morelooking for a Beige color paint recommendation
Comments (34)First paint chips I'd reach for are on the Sherwin-Williams strip with Kilim Beige SW 6106. Sherwin Williams sometimes labels it as an "orange paint color". It's not "orange". Kilim Beige Colorography It will definitely look less lemon-y, polenta-y. I also like the idea of Benjamin Moore's Shaker Beige or Manchester Tan. Should be a nice range of near neutrals to get you started figuring out what "beige" means to you. Because "beige" means something different to everyone as you can see on this post. Color words like beige, greige, taupe, etc. are really meaningless because everyone defines them differently. Same with "undertones". No one can agree on color undertones (again as demonstrated in this thread) because it's a subjective judgment....See MoreKissing Tree Properties LLC
