Interior trim paint suggestion, please
Comments (21)Sounds like this is a moot point now, but I just wanted to say that if I could afford it, I'd use FPE eco satin for all the trim in my house. I painted an entire L-shaped banquette in our kitchen using FPE Eco Satin and it was a dream to work with once I got the hang of not overworking it. I've had several people look at the banquette and be shocked that it was not professionally painted. Since financially it's not really an option for me to paint all the woodwork in my house with FPE, I've been using Aura for most of my trim and find that satisfactory as well....See MoreExterior House Trim Colors Suggestion Needed
Comments (4)Too bad those downspouts are so prominent between the windows/balconies! Try paint that helps them match the brick better. If it were my home I would go darker with the parts you want to paint. What are the railings on the balconies made of? Could they be matched to the bronze windows? I don't care for the curved aspect of the roof or the little shallow arches underneath the porch; out of keeping with the hip roof of the home. Would look better if the lines tied in with the belly band on the left side. Not too expensive a change to make. The pencil posts are also a bit weenie for the volume of the brick house. I think you could get away with fewer of them, squared up and looking more like they were original to the home. I get the impression this porch was a later addition. The stubby mushroom bushes look to need replacing. If painting is your main project, then a renewed landscape plan is the next step to improve things....See MoreExterior accent & trim suggestions?
Comments (15)Your home is lovely. As is. I believe it requires a long range landscape plan that will bring texture and color to your yard. I would stay away from adding window boxes to your facade. I think that they will clutter its elegant lines. Get rid of your “second thoughts.” You are over thinking things. Great choices have been made!...See MoreCan someone suggest a good white trim color for house exterior?
Comments (0)I have a south-facing house, colonial style, with a cedar shingle roof. I am painting the exterior BM Newburyport Blue (classic navy). Not sure if I should go bright white for the trim, or something slightly creamier. I get overwhelmed with white choices. My house is on a lake, if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance....See MoreChristina
