Paint color (or something more?). 1915 Brick & Stucco Bungalow
Comments (19)I would go with a browner, mossier green to better harmonize with the brown of the brick + cream trim. Also research mineral paints - limeworks and Keim USA are 2 US based sources. These bond to the masonry (whether stone, concrete, stucco, etc) as opposed to being a paint film that sits on top of the surface - and are breathable (necessary to prevent moisture damage). Ive been told that the colors are more lively and beautiful, due to it being actual mineral pigment vs. chemical colorant. Cost - very reasonable, about what a medium-high end paint would cost.

Comments (28)I like the blue one celery just did. more of a grayer blue, or a greenish blue and yes, correct sized shutters. the ones you have are too skinny. (or remove them completely. ) Don't forget the accent colors. love this blue, but the adjoining warm wood really accents the look. Pink not your thing? choose a coral, or green this w/natural cedar looks beautiful. do the cedar shutters...See MoreRelated Professionals
