Picking an exterior paint color---need help!!
Comments (11)I would suggest the darker color for the main body of the house, and then a lighter color on the forward section with the entry in it. Then, a third color on the round "tower". Darker or lighter, just different. Then pick out the details in the stucco individually, such as the trim around the arches in the white to tie it in with the windows, and the actual interior face of the arch in the blue. I'd also find some pretty tile to put on the steps face, and under the sill of the arch sections. Tile and color accents....See MoreHelp!!! decision time paralysis... Colors, materials, etc
Comments (18)Both would work but which would you prefer? I personally prefer the introduction of a bit of color, but that's me. Either will look stunning. The problem with a wood top on the island, along with the wood around the fan, and the different colored perimeter with a separate color top, is there are so many disparate elements. With the lighter perimeter, there's nothing to tie it into the island. By keeping the countertops the same, it allows you to add other elements. If you don't want to go too light, what about a counter color like the one right above?...See MoreAnalysis paralysis - help me make final decisions on my front garden!!
Comments (18)Thank you @littlebug zone 5 Missouri! I do plan to replace the railings on the stoop. I was thinking simple square wooden posts & rails painted white, like this But now I also like the black metal ones suggested by @emmarene9 and am seeing a few examples on pinterest I like with a similar look. More decisions! The plan for the walkway is dark grey patio stones, 18x24". 6' wide at the base of the stairs for a landing and 4' the rest of the way to the sidewalk. I have a path to the rear door (the one I and friends/family use) from the driveway already, so this front one is just for folks coming off the street. The concrete steps are in good condition and have just been re-levelled. Gave them a pressure-wash a few weeks ago and will do another in the spring but no other surface work is planned for them. I've read so many comments here about planting beds being too narrow, so I wanted to ensure at least 6' of depth for mine! I've gotten a few comments irl saying they look freakishly BIG but I know it'll all come together once they're filled in with plants. This is a rough layout from placing new sod; I will be tweaking the shape slightly in spring to get more rounded corners. :)...See MoreHELP picking out exterior paint colors!
Comments (5)No decision in any of the roof or rock color. Have to have rock somewhere on front as accent. Black windows is all we know so far! Having a hard time picturing colors on the home. No yellow or blue. That’s about it!...See MoreIndecisiveness
