The contrast really draws your attention to all of the beautiful architectural details, the varied rooflines, the windows – all of it. I don’t know that I’m this bold when it comes to an exterior paint color, but this house is certainly a show stopper, don’t you think? This home can certainly pull off such a bold color choice. ![]() (Because there won’t be a second time anytime soon). The day to repaint couldn’t come soon enough! This is quite an investment, and I want to make sure I get it right the first time. ![]() My mom still talks about the time they had their house painted and absolutely hated the color. While I don’t have a problem repainting a room in my house if the paint color is a fail, or, more frequently, if I’m just itching for a something new. And why wouldn’t it? It’s sharp, so eye-catching for so many reasons. This is another exterior that has probably been pinned a gazillion times. I love the rich color, and the contrast of the trim along with the stone. These are a couple of exteriors that I have admired for a long time, and I guess that’s a good thing because I still love them, even today. Naturally, I’m finding myself drawn in the opposite direction. So basically, I have no contrast going on right now. Not a whole lot to worry about in terms of painting back here – just the covered porch area, soffits and stairs (which need some serious help) – and my stair railing, which is a hot mess. But our backyard grass has really taken a nosedive for some reason. We have a whole section that is just mud right now thanks to 1) weather and 2) dogs. This was also before The Big Dig, where we took out our pond, and replaced it with a paver patio. Here is a backyard view, when our yard wasn’t a totally mud pit like it is right now – oh how I miss green grass. I feel like it just gets a little bit washed out with its current color palette. In this close up shot, you can see some of the stone and brick detail. I don’t take a whole lot of exterior photos, and it’s so rainy and disgusting here, I don’t have a great current shot of our home’s exterior, so bear with me on some of the photos here. Here is a look at our home’s exterior when we first bought it back in 2010. Currently, the color of the siding, stone and brick kind of blend together, and I am looking for something new. I have been going back and forth with color ideas for awhile, and one of the big decisions I need to make is whether I want a high contrast look or not. Whether we end up at a final destination, is another story… High Contrast So today, I’m going to take you along on my mental journey of picking exterior paint colors. I’m already overwhelmed at the options when it comes to paint colors, and trying to decide what direction I want to go with it. ![]() I know my limits, both in my skill set and my sanity), and painting an exterior would probably send me over the edge. While I paint furniture and cabinets on a regular basis, I won’t touch an exterior project with a ten foot pole. I have a lot of projects on my to-do list that are overdue, and a big one is painting the exterior of our home.
