Love Your Homes!

11 years ago
I absolutely love all of your designs. I seem to keep coming back to your homes for ideas, as we are in the midst of building and making selections. One thing I can't decide on, is weather or not to go with white corners on the siding? I see you do that quite often on your homes. We are using LP Smart Side, and I love the looks of the the East coast/ Hamptons/ Cape Cod style homes. My budget did not allow for the cedar shake look siding (that typically has a "wrapped" look at the corners without a sontrasting color), so I'm wondering if using the same color corners would allow for that look more or if going with white corners makes more sense? I don't want a "craftsman" look. The siding will be SW Summit Gray and the window trim in SW Pure White. I know this is a lengthly question, and it's hard without seeing the elevations, but I'm wondering if you would be so gracious as to give me your input? Thanks in advance!

    We completely understand your dilemma and have battled that before too. In all honesty, you could go either way. However, on this particular house we wanted that Hampton/Cape Cod feel so that is why we went with the painted white corner boards because we felt it did represent that look better. With that said, we would have who ever is painted the house do one corner board with the white and another with the Summit gray you can see the difference between the two. We think it is important to see both options so you are not questioning the decision once the color is made. There are a lot of details that go into building a house but one thing we always say is not to worry too much on making the wrong decision but concentrate on the right one...go with your instinct:) Good luck!!!!
