Hello, hello...So glad to be able to sit and blog today! I shared this photo of my kiddos on insta the other day. We had just gotten back from flag football, hence my son's sweaty forehead! The gallery wall is also a work in progress but the real story here is I'm finally getting new windows and redoing the front of my little ranchola!! I can't wait to dive in and paint the facade, the problem is, it's a simple home architecturally but I still want it to look gorgeous. I thought I'd share my thoughts, feel free to chime in on what you like for color schemes!! I will share paint chip ideas tomorrow. I can make decisions for my clients no problem but for my own home?? Not so much. Thoughts?? xx
Body of the house:
- I am either going with 1. White or 2. Pale Grey
Here are some nice examples. The next question is to add shutters back on or go without. I am leaning towards shutters. I typically love white houses with black shutters on classic homes but I am not sure how I feel about it on my home.
White facade:
White with grey shutters (this is soft and pretty)
Warm white with blue grey shutters
Pale Grey with black shutters:
(this cape is adorable)
Door choices
(it will be in a high gloss paint)
A rich glossy blue (not navy)
Coral
Glossy black - my entrance is far from this stunning!!
Pink
(this shade is pretty perfect)
Pale blue
I have the same conundrum as you choosing paint colors for my own house; I fluctuate between a more creamy white with greige-y green shutters or a cooler classic look of white and gray. Tricky choice! I vote the light blue door although I would be very jealous if you did paint it that lovely pink!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about decisions for others vs. your own! as far as the exterior paint color, that would be a “no brained”for me...WHITE! Then, your roof color should help you decide on the shutter color and that decision will help with the door options. Without considering either, I vote for pink. My door is a lighter shade of pink and I get compliments every time there’s a knock on it 😃. Would gladly show you a photo of my painted white brick home with the pink door.
ReplyDeleteI am painting the door either a bright blue or the pretty pink color!! Thank you!! xx
