I need help w/beam placement and to paint or not paint fireplace brick
Comments (13)Rachel - thank you - you shared great photos - I will post pictures next week after the walls and trim are painted in Dove White. I really like that black paint idea on fireplace- such a bold move but I love the white fireplaces you show which seem safer. Black happens to be in the wallpaper I am currently hanging in the foyer today. Pics attached. Changing trim and walls white all over the house is a huge transformation from my dingy dark trim and walls and I am creating a monster that is snowballing. The dining room rug looks horrible with my wallpaper so I am now in search of a new rug there and one for the family room and now I need new furniture in there as well. Suggestions are welcome from anyone - It is painted Dove white and you can see the new foyer paper with the new blue study. What about a blue or green velvet sofa with all white room. I have 2 cats and someone said that they are not as attracted to velvet. I am not painting the built-ins around fireplace just yet because I have not picked out kitchen cabinets. Maybe I can have the built-ins sprayed white or the blue??? I could also try to change the trim or molding to make them more modern and even wonder if wood shelves would look good to match my dream beams. Ripping out the built-ins and replacing will be costly unless I find some cool furniture pieces to go there. I will also hold off on the painting the fireplace so I can see what the brick looks with an all white room. My painters love me and they come back every two weeks for my next Phase of renovation. : )...See MorePeach Orange Brick House - Help needed to pick paint colours
Comments (10)Thanks everyone! Your ideas are so helpful! @Lyn Nielson Thanks for the tip about the perennial garden bed! I'm glad to know it will take 3 years. I can be impatient with these things sometimes. Do you have any suggestions for what to plant? We are zone 5. @houssaon Brilliant! It would be nice to keep the white trim just because it's less work than changing it. A colour pop on the door would be a dream come true for me. How would you do it without making it look like we live in a fun house? @tangerinedoor I have a new appreciation for our window now! You're right. No one else has anything unique like that in our neighbourhood. @uoflcardfan77 Such a great idea to replace the shutters and I didn't realize the door would continue the theme but it totally does! Great eye!...See MoreNeed help with this brick color and exterior paint options! yes
Comments (4)I think this is attractive combination that looks good with brick, which I would not paint. If you want to do do only one color either LaPaloma Gray or Winter Orchard works. Bachelor Blue looks good with the roof. Please trim the bushes so that they are no taller than the bottom of the pretty windows....See MoreNeed help with exterior paint colors for brick and trim
Comments (15)We are thinking about having the beams and post painted to look like wood. it will all be wrapped in hardy which we chose for the easy maintenace. My husband has been researching techniques how to get the wood look. We’ll go ahead n paint all the trim white similar to what we already have with white gutters and keep the white trim on the windows. He’s also researching stsining the brick instead of painting. Do you think a gray color would look good? SW light french gray or go darker? Thank you!...See Moreapple_pie_order
