exterior paint for 1920's stucco spanish bungalow in California
Comments (12)We in the north where this is a fairly common solution. Here is the description from a local stucco company's website: " This stucco refinishing is often called a “re-dash.” The stucco refinishing basically applies a new two-coat stucco finish over the existing stucco. Often, stucco repairs are necessary first, and when the stucco refinishing is completed, the home looks brand new. Foley Exteriors would never recommend painting stucco. Stucco is naturally porous, so paint prohibits the stucco from “breathing,” as it seals the pores that allow moisture to escape through the stucco. We have found that a refinishing the stucco might initially be slightly more expensive than a quality paint job, but the stucco finish requires little to no maintenance. Paint requires frequent maintenance, and might only last a few years. A new stucco finish should last for decades, making it a much better value than the alternatives."...See More1926 Spanish Colonial Revival / Mission Deco help!
Comments (8)Lovely!! What part of the world is it? I wouldn't put contrasting paint on the arrows....the shadows accent perfectly. As for paint color....think California Mission pinkish-tan. probably that's very close to what it is now....the color of adobe clay....See MoreHELP WITH STUCCO COLOR
Comments (18)WO, the schmear needs to be a little heavier. Here,,,I did a quick photoshop w/the stone (I photoshopped another stone that is washed a bit lighter) and picked two main colors. the cajun color could be pottery or the front door. also gave you wrought iron lantern light for the garage. here's the combo. if you go to colorsnap app, you can upload your home and punch in these colors. See below and I give you ideas and color combos this is what I had in mind for muting the stone. Schmear- you don't have to go this heavy, but if you did this, then you could copy the stucco color that they have. I've posted some others too. So imagine doing one of those options above w/your stone, and pairing it w/one of these white stucco colors and darker trim shades: I have a similar style home and chose Swiss Coffee and Wrought Iron. I have a charcoal spanish style color roof tile. But your terra cotta would look lovely w/this duo. I would suggest doing some iron hardware for your garage door and new lights. if you like the blue/green accent color (see below) This stone has more of a german schmear more warmer tones showing through. go w/the bronze accent colors if you like this. OR, try the romabio classico lime wash. Diff style house, but look at the stone portion. imagine that on yours, muted like this, along w/the white and dark trim tones. I did find one home w/some similar stone out front. Can you see the diff? I photoshopped your stone on this pic. This is exactly what I mean by muted the stone color w/the romabio. or a mortar wash. If you use the Swiss Coffee or Cotten White (colors below) You'll get this look on the stucco. Here are some colors ignore this style, but see the diff in stucco color? this is the white I mean along w/the darker trim I love this one. The softer white, darker bronze/chocolate trim, copper accents, and a blue/gray/green accents color (plants, ceramic pottery, front door color, etc) the blue/green shades. if you like, just accent w/this blue shade. maybe the door, or on the trim This is what I was thinking w/the darker fascia trim and maybe some wood accents....See MoreCA Spanish Bungalow needs help!
Comments (8)I'm guessing the clay tile canopies were added to control the sun that hits the face of your home. Someone thought is was a better solution than canvas awnings. Your other choice is to build a wood pergola over the porch area to control the sun. Here are some examples of the wood pergola front porch. You're looking for windows more like what you see below. Casement style. These metal windows would have been typical of those in your home when it was built. You could keep your color scheme if you had more complementary landscaping to go with it....See More23heather
