White cabinets / White-ish tile floor ¡V What color granite?? New
Comments (5)Thanks for the quick feedback. Well the kitchen (total counter space is about 95 sq ft) opens up to an eating area (not the formal dining room, that is in a different area) that then opens up to the great room. The great room has two deep red (wine) color walls with the rest being a neutral color, including the kitchen. I think we want to go with a clean look. (is that even a look?) Something that is classy, not retro or anything like that. ItÂs a bit hard because my wife or I have never had white cabinets so we are not sure what to do. Tomorrow we are going to look at slabs of granite. We are both thinking a darker color, say Black Labrador, Uba Tuba, or Black Impala Do you think black is our best choice? The hardest part is that our tile is also a off white color, kinda white with a gray mixed in. Thanks for all the help....See MoreHelp with Exterior Color with White Brick
Comments (5)I like the grey. How about a dark grey/green? Or black? I would plant an ornamental tree over on the right side like a Japanese Maple and they turn a beautiful red in the fall or actually have dark red leaves. Then you could use the red from that for your front door. What do you think about the garage door having a darker grey painted on the cross hatches? It might bring a bit of life to that area. Hell, take the darker grey (I say a medium grey) on the trim too. I wouldn't want it too dark then it might look like a gingerbread house....See MoreHelp picking Exterior Brick/Siding White Paint Color
Comments (1)Don’t go by pictures. Have samples of each color made and try it out on your house. Then look at the samples from a distance and see how it looks in your light with your roof color. The front of the house is most important, but you might want to consider test samples on other sides of the house as well....See MorePainting exterior brick white- what color windows with no shutters?
Comments (27)Hey you are right I think you should lighten your brick it looks better and is timeless and will bring it more up to date but I think you should lime wash it romabio has many different lime washes and natural masonry paints it allows your brick to breath and looks beautiful and it will age beautiful as well...See MoreCandace Mayhew
