Help with 50's ranch paint color
Comments (11)Here's another shot of the shingles. They appear far more red in that first pic - maybe because they were getting direct sun when I took the photo.... I like that darker color you suggested though. Unfortunately we have to stick with the off-white gutters for now, unless I want to paint them...Thanks for the feedback....See MoreMy 50's bay area ranch tour. And I need help with paint :)

Comments (4)i love the window WOULD NOT paint it at all. It is connection to light and outdoors even if i tis small. It is a feature..its nice how you have plants. leave the wood tone. If you bothered to do a backsplash, which would be great , you can do the area around the window as well and it will be a great looking spot. That mid tone birch or maple window frame is more 1950's ranch than anything else in this view....See More50s Ranch-style Home Exterior Update and Curb Appeal Help
Comments (5)Thank you, both! I certainly understand and appreciate where you are coming from. Waiting has been our mindset for a long time. We have lived here for ten years mostly focusing on saving, doing infrastructure projects, and tackling smaller landscaping projects (it is on 3+ acres and much has been done in the back). It doesn't look like much now (spring has not really arrived where we are) but the beds will be full with plants soon as it warms and we always plant annuals, planters, pots, and baskets. The greenery always does wonders to make it look more welcoming! We have gone back and forth about waiting. Unfortunately, the paint has been slowly running off the house when it rains since we moved in, some places are down to bare aluminum, and the deck has not been done for three years and is in need of painting anyway. We feel like we need to address it now in order to maintain the house and keep from opening ourselves up to bigger issues down the line. Aside from the painting (which we plan to do ourselves) the other projects should not be impacted when we renovate (patio furniture, trellis, steps, etc.). A good chunk of the funds will go toward furniture and based on our budget estimates. The paint and associated supplies will represent a much smaller portion....See MoreJennifer Hogan
