Should we paint the crawl space doors the same color as our wall?
3 years ago
Currently the crawl space doors are white. We are painting the basement and I am wondering if it would look better to paint the crawl space doors the same color as the wall so they "disappear"? What do you think?

Should I paint our walls the same as the trim?
Comments (13)14 years ago we painted our walls and trim the same color and I'm planning to do it again when we re-paint the entire house very soon. Our house was built in 1938 with an addition at some point in the 1950's, but there's nothing remarkable about the details or the trim. We chose 2 colors for most of the house - a light to midtone for the front, or public part of the house, and a darker color for the private bedrooms in the back. The child's room was a completely different color, but all 3 work well together. Having the walls and trim the same color gives our older home a more contemporary, minimal vibe....See MoreWhat color(s) should we paint the interior of our new home?
Comments (5)Congratulations on your new home - how exciting! I would not paint the walls grey/blue/green due to the orange/yellow wood. Those colors would look nice in your home but may feel a little old-fashioned to you. In my opinion, grey has been overdone and it's time for something fresher. I would paint both the walls and the wood trim the same soft white to give it a more modern feel. The trim is not very substantial so just paint it out altogether. Bring in color with your furniture or art. When you eventually replace the flooring you can think about changing the trim too. Look at Benjamin Moore OC-117 Simply White, or perhaps OC-118 Snowfall White or OC-149 Decorator's White....See MoreWhat color should we paint our front door?
Comments (5)Denita the front door isn't really visible from the front of the house and I'd rather not post the whole thing. The color scheme is basically the same with the manufactured stone, stucco, and cream colored trim. Hope that helps!

Comments (12)Coming back to say that if your cabinets were painted by your cabinet maker using sprayed catalyzed paint finish, it will not match if you have it painted with a regular paint. BTDT and learned my lesson the hard way. I would have the crown molding removed around the hood (3 sides) and take it to the cabinet maker to be sprayed the same finish as the cabinets. Then it will need to be reinstalled. I tried to color match my catalyzed cabinet paint once to paint the crown and there was always a noticeable difference in color and sheen....See MoreRelated Professionals

As another option, repurpose the opening for an additional function This wine rack hides access to an exhaust fan - if necessary after removing the tiles, two screws retain the box Or, let the trim become framing for art - a poster can be wallpapered onto the door
