Hide or paint stones on the front of a house.
Comments (6)Actually it has been very hot here and this wall is facing south... I am concerned I am going to start a job and might not finish it. I have found the product on the internet. I have 2 stones that I can use as samples. So I amgoing to use one with paint to make a wash (I will have to test the proportions paint/water. I once whitewashed my wood floor to give it a swedish look... But stones are different) And I'll test the lime on the other one once I get it. This way I'll see the results before. I might wait for the temperatures to go down a bit... It was 98 just yesterday. And it is the rainy season and it rains almost every day....See MoreIdeas for front house, I need change front house

Comments (2)No stone. Your house is very pretty just the way it is. Stone would not look good on it. Go ahead and try the blue door. Your entry way looks a bit dark, and doesnt stand out, and a bright door, might be just what you need. You also have a paver type driveway, that looks very nice, and stone will just clash with that. What I dont see is any nice color for interest anywhere. No pretty pots with flowers in them, and nothing blooming anywhere, (or maybe it is the time of year the pictures were taken?) The house almost looks like it is unoccupied....See MoreFront Door Color for challenging brick/stone home
Comments (10)Thank you so much for all of the responses and the mockups, I really, really appreciate it. I don't feel as frozen as I have been. We spend a lot of time standing at the bottom of the driveway, pondering. All of your pics are fantastic, WOW! Here's a pic of the door, it's still being prepped for paint, there was no option to just stain it. I do like the terra cotta/orange to tie in with the brick and the peachy in the stone. @Jinx, your photo is incredible and so helpful, the stone and the trim is so similar. The brightness would help in the deep summer shade and long winter too. Although the pale to dark aubergine/purple is very, very tempting. Both would get the neighbourhood talking. The garden border and planting were just done, the Hicks Yews shrubs will form a hedge eventually. New sidewalk is exposed aggregate, and the concrete driveway will lose its' too bright look over time, can't wait for that. I agree the garage door doesn't jive, especially with the new changes we have made. It's been discussed for the past year while waiting for the concrete project to be done. I'm trying to convince my husband to replace it. It doesn't help that people say they like it when they walk by, it just gives him more points to keep it. We did it very cheaply about 18 years ago as a diy budget fix, it's just two panels of tongue and groove pine with pressure treated boards, stained, varnished and just screwed on top of the very dented original 1963 metal door, it has an automatic opener and it goes up like a normal door. Fake hardware was added to just give the appearance that they open as two shed/type doors. The front porch light will be replaced or removed, it's a bit farmhouse looking. We don't really need one, we installed potlights on a dimmer across the front of the house and garage. I'm thinking about the garage door below, from Clopay Home Depot Canada....See MoreRelated Professionals
