Exterior help

10 years ago

Just finished doing the interior plumbing. Pardon the mess. This is a 75 yo stucco house. The tan yellow body color is newer, that and the actual front door are staying. I'd like to paint the door, window trim and the gutters/ garage roof trim. The concrete step too.

The chocolate brown and maybe even the white have got to go. My next door neighbor just painted their house with exactly my scheme, they have a much bigger house and now I look like the servants quarters.

Attaching a photo of my house and an inspiration picture I like. Charcoal eggplant, lavender are my thoughts. Thanks in advance !

It's taken me awhile. But I finished my yard (with some flower box planting in the spring) thanks to all who helped me

I would do a dark charcoal trim (SW7060) with a bright white garage door.

This color ? I like. I also want to paint the brick glower bed. I hate it.

Yes, I would paint any accent (trim, flower bed) in the attitude gray and than leave the garage door white.

I don't recommend painting concrete like on the front porch- maybe you can install wood on top of it? or tile it?

Thanks! I'm going to wait on the step for a bit anyways. I am putting in bark and loosing the grass (I'm in CA)

It will blend in a bit more with the gray trim. That's an awesome color. How about a purple front door ? The white gets too dirty

If you are willing to take a chance with color than I would suggest matching the front door and garage door: SW6009

I like the BM color you suggested. I have a beige house and my door is SW Concord Grape. I do get compliments on it.

I think you should get a hiding screen door.

I like both colors. I'm going to wait for the trim. I hear purple doors are the new red door ! Not sure I understand about a hiding screen door. I do need something. My door is completely see through glass above. and it's not ideal But I got it from my neighbors tear down for free, so it fits my era house, and I like the look. Just not the privacy

Matching the garage door to front is very interesting. I had it painted the house color because it is a cheap Home Depot door from 1995. Ugly ugly ugly. But it does make my house into a bit of a blob.

Very nice. I'd still like the door in a stand out color.
