Wall Color Suggestions
Comments (29)The picture of the furniture looks greyish, but it is actually an ivory and brown chevron pattern. I'm avoiding "trendy" colors - I learned my lesson with the 80's mauve and blue stage as well as the 90's greens and peach, and the 2000's reds. I'd prefer to pick a color that enhances the room and it's furnishings. I agree the picture in the kitchen eating area is a bit high - I've had it awhile so it might be replaced if I find something better. Great suggestions - Keep them coming. I'm all tapped out on the creative thinking....See MorePlease give exterior paint ideas for Mission Spanish Revival bungalow
Comments (30)My St. Petersburg mission revival, 1924 built, is a blast. And an ongoing challenge as all old homes are. Terra cotta block building. Flat roofs - 3 different flat roofs, two more sloped roof addons. Mine was a tan mud color when we bought it, painted a fiesta blaze color ....that came out...safety power cord orange that a pilot friend said he used as a navigation aide flying in for several years. 12ish years later, and the orange is now a faded pink. (We could tell from digging through layers it had been a bold red and various whites and pinks and perhaps a blue in the past, too.) So don't fret on your color, it will change with time. Our neighbors all with browns and whites all went more bold after we did. One of the several other mission revivals we drive past nearly every day is a rich bold dark fresh new terra cotta pot looking color, another a more poppy yellowish orange color. I could provide images if you want to see. Enjoy your mission revival home!...See MoreWant my house to look Frank Lloyd Wright inspired
Comments (4)Well, at least you're starting with a strong basic look. One of those characteristics he employed was a low, almost flat roofline. He also liked a large overhang & interesting details on the outer walls....interesting windows, walls like you have, and landscaping. Everything played a part in the overall aesthetic. I think your front walls could get an earthy, almost reddish color "wash" to it. Not sure what the actual technique would be, but anyone familiar with masonry will know what works best... Just some Wright inspirational eye candy. Small subtle touches can make a big difference. Not much you can do about the fact that he LOVED glass! The bigger the better!...See MoreNeed Frank Lloyd Wright inspired curb appeal
Comments (2)It sounds like you would like major alterations to the front and to the landscaping. Have you considered hiring an architect?...See MoreNanibush
