Exterior Paint Ideas - Split level with Brick - paint brick or not?
Comments (24)I really like the combination from Patricia. That sage-y green can look great with certain brick. I think your #2 color looks good with the brick (and mortar). Remember you need the color you choose to work with the roof, too. Computer screens can be iffy, but your #1 choice looks somewhat similar to the sage from Patricia. on my screen....See MoreExterior paint ideas
Comments (9)I'm okay with shutters, but these are too short and too narrow to look right, and missing one by the front door looks odd. Instead, beef up the trim around the windows. When you drive around, do you see house colors that really appeal to you? There are lots of exterior colors that will work with your paver stone and roof. I agree with sage greens, green gray, a warm blue gray, and also a buckskin tan would probably look nice. You want to be sure to have colors on warm side of the spectrum. I loved my house when it was painted Glidden High Tea - I wonder if that is still in the paint matching systems. Go to the major paint brands websites and use their color visualizer tools to try out various colors for siding and trim!...See MoreExterior Paint Ideas
Comments (13)Thanks for the helpful suggestions y'all. Majority of the plants, trees etc. in the front of the house are either evergreen, or their spring blooms (dogwood included) are white. The peonies are pink. In the fall, one of the trees along the side of the house turns a beautiful red. We are drawn to earth tones, and green is unfortunately out as the houses one side of us are a different hue of green. We have already removed the bush by the garage and plan to remove the small tree blocking the porch (which the photo above makes me more eager to do)....See MoreExterior paint ideas / help
Comments (9)The garage doors look like black holes, particularly in the first picture. I don't think the eaves need to be painted brown, either. There is nothing wrong with the style of the garage doors, so you don't need to replace them. Paint them a lighter color. Just make sure you know what kind of surface you're painting and prepare it properly so the paint doesn't peel off in six months (this happened to someone I know who used a pro). See if you can find a color for the garage door and eaves that goes with the existing siding. That way you could save yourself from having to paint the siding. I am not 100% sure about the colors since photos can be deceptive, but maybe BM Waynesboro Taupe 1544 is worth a try....See Morejeperrone
