What color paint was used around the front door? - We recently purchased a Minnesota cabin built in 1851. It has the rough hewn walls and chinking. About 20 years ago an addition including a drywall kitchen was added. I would love to paint the kitchen this color blue. Thanks! »
Clark & Zook Architects, LLC The color for the door trim (on the inside door that is closed) is a Benjamin Moore Historic Color (HC).
Its specific name is HC-143 "Wythe Blue", and it is a greenish-blue-grey.
Most of the colors in this house were based on colors found in 18th- and 19th-century architectural interiors, as these classic, inviting tones continue to serve us well today.
Clark & Zook Architects, LLC The wall in the front is actual logs. These were reclaimed pine logs, from a cabin built in the 1820's in north Georgia. They are not smooth, and are whats termed rough hewn. The logs are 14" tall and 6" wide. The white area is called chinking, and its a stucco/concrete mix. The wall the back with the door and blue/grey frame is painted drywall.
The dining room retains the original feel of the log cabin. "My clients had beautiful, Williamsburg-esque colonial furniture," says Clark. "I'm glad they went with that rather than overdoing the mountain-twig-moosehead kind of theme."
