Need help with exterior paint colors for 1920s Florida home
Comments (4)Your house is beautiful. I just painted my new craftsman in SW FL with Sherwin Williams 7726 Lemon Verbena for the hardie siding on top, SW 7733 Bamboo Shoot for the stucco on the first floor and SW 7730 Forestwood for the trim. I just personally love greens for a craftsman house but felt that with the light in FL, the greens had to be a bit cleaner and brighter than what is normally chosen for the rest of the country. (The trim isn't finished being painted.)...See MoreNeed help pick exterior color for my South Florida home
Comments (10)Are those some kind of storm shutters that close across the windows? Are you sure they are paintable? If you search this site for photos of "red tile roof" you'll see lots of inspiration pix. You'll be able to narrow down the possibilities by seeing actual homes with your roof color and the various ways they've been painted....See MorePLEASE HELP: Exterior house color? (Florida)
Comments (46)I was thinking shingle roof when I mentioned the mix of light colors. While a shingle roof would have multiple shades of gray, metal roofs would be, as far as I know, one solid color -- some light colors and some dark. If you have decided on a metal roof -- great idea -- then, see if you can find white metal roofs in your area and see if they look good on the roof to you. Personally, I'd rather have the house painted white and then choose a light colored roof -- a light gray or tan (but not a white roof) ... especially if there are any trees anywhere near the house. Some trees are worse than others for dropping sap and some show bird poop and such worse than others -- things that would actually wash off a metal roof in the rain better than they'd wash off a shingle roof. If, however, you like the white roof that much better, you could always take a hose pipe to rinse off anything that shows enough to bother you. While there are light green an light blue modern metal roofs as well as the light gray ones -- and medium and dark gray roofs. Either white or gray would be more neutral should you ever want to change your house color again or sell the house to someone that might. Consider taking the time to actively look for a few in your area and see how they look once they've been installed for a while. Perhaps they don't show stain as much as I suspect they would. Perhaps the local Lowes or Home Depot could give you the general location of some where people that bought white metal for the roof and had them installed....See MoreHELP with modernizing my South Florida home by the sea!!
Comments (18)@flopsycat1 Bay window, picture window depending who you talk with lol. I was thinking placing the numbers on the wall right side of the front door. I have hurricane impact windows and doors those are not shutters, it's brick painted dark grey. It's been a hassle trying to find someone to remove all of the brick from the columns and on the sides of the window. Definitely can use some landscaping Thank you!...See MoreL O
