- Can you please tell me the stain color. On the cedar shingles?

I am not really sure how it will work to wash the bricks with semi transparent stain.

It is always a good idea to try it out on a sample or consult with a local painting contractor.

Take Care,

No, it's not actually using a semi-transparent stain, the technique just (I think) mimics the look of a semi-transparent stain over cedar. I would definitely get a professional, especially because the technique of lime washing is so complicated. All of the examples I've seen on brick are much lighter, like a white washing. But I think the warm gray would be really beautiful. It wouldn't look as flat and one dimensional as painting the brick would. Then I could have the shed dormer vinyl replaced with cedar shingles with the coastal gray (or similar). Very exciting we move in less than five weeks. Let the renos begin!

I believe that the contractor used a Simpson door here.

Happy door

- Hi, who makes the paint used on the door and what color yellow is it? I LOVE it. Thank you!

Yasmín
Sarabue- I'm taking a guess...in the right it looks like roses, in the left MAYBE morning glory or trumpet vine. Good luck!

Plant over arbor?

Hi jodellayers,

I am sorry I do not know the the name of this plant.
The homeowner selected her own plantings and they are beautiful.

Thanks for asking !

8. Increase curb appeal. Make your house stand out with a big change, like a bold new front door color, an arbor with roses or new porch lights. Or, for a quick spruce-up, swap out the doormat and add a few pots of flowers.See more ways to boost curb appeal

A quintessentially American version of the moon gate relies on the iconic picket fence and arbor for its design. With a classical arch made into a circle by a picketed gate, the traditionally styled American moon gate is thinner, more two dimensional and fresher than its Far Eastern antecedent.More: 12 Inspiring Garden GatesPhotos: Browse thousands of gate designs
