Paint Design Dilemma Exterior

1985 house HELP I need suggestions on exterior paint colors

4 years ago

The windows are not getting replaced. I need paint color suggestions as I'm finding it very difficult to choose something that goes with dark brown on windows/garage door. Deck will have to have a new color of paint/stain too. Lots of huge board & batten walls on this different styled house of ours! LOL & I'm having a terrible time with color....

It's a great house. These 'shed' houses look best to me monochromatic- I would paint everything (except the stone) Sherwin Williams Black Fox or Urbane Bronze. When you can afford it the deck handrails could use updating ( I would replace some sections with stadium stairs and others with glass). Otherwise punch up the landscaping a bit and you are good to go. The pine next to the house is so pretty, I don't love the cedar between the garage and the entrance, it looks like it is in the way?

Thank you for you feedback! Great ideas & I will look at those colors as I have the Sherwin Williams paint brochure.
