My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What to do with this brick? Paint?

8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago

Exterior paint colors have been chosen and (sort of) started. Sherwin Williams Oxford White for trim, Online for body and Software for garage door. Color swatches shown below and partial painted trim and completed garage door shown as well! I don’t like the darkness of the brick in comparison to the new colors we are doing but I dont think I can wrap my head around the idea of an opaque gray for the bricks. I want to keep some warmth and charm of the brick. What to do with the bricks and what color? Help please!?

(Considering the new front door color to be either a deep teal like Sherwin Williams Blue Peacock or Midnight Mule or a light blue/teal like SW Watery.) Thanks in advance everyone! and any other “curb appeal” suggestions are welcome as well!
