Beach Cottage Needs Exterior Paint Makeover: Help!
Comments (0)At a loss here, folks! I'm terrible at visualizing and gave up on trying to sketch in colors myself on the Ben Moore or Sherm Williams websites. Would loooovveeee if someone out there could give it a whirl! Kindly seeking your suggestions for body and trim colors for this waterfront beach house in a New England fishing community. Neighboring home is brown cottage (see pic) and would love to somehow tie two homes together, but without making the main house brown. Most homes are weathered shingles..grey, dull. Would like to stay with light, warm colors...no yellows or blues. Thanks in advance....See MoreUgly home needs exterior makeover (pic)

Comments (6)If your budget is limited to maybe paint and column wraps I would do the columns, but probably not with a Craftsman style which doesn't really work with the house. A beefier square column, painted the trim color would work. I would look at painting the shutters a color other than brown. Right now the entire house is monotone. A bright color on the front door to make it a focal point (I like the teal chair color for the front door)....See MoreThe exterior of my 1960s side split needs a makeover! Ideas welcome!
Comments (12)-Replace the siding (not sure what colour?) and re-brick over the red brick portion of the house. [why rebrick?] - Replace the pillar with something more craftsman style. [no. This is not a craftsman style house and No room.] - Enlarge the window above the garage (this is the main bedroom) by doing a cut down enlargement. [yes!!] - New shutters (not sure what colours) [no shutters. Shutters are dated except for a couple styles of home.] - Replace the garage door (again, colours are a ??) - Maybe window box planters underneath the other front windows. [no. Too high maintenance. A bed w good for season interest will get you more than boxes. They don’t look good year round]. - New door [color statement] - New garage door and garage light - Change up the landscaping a bit...no idea how though [what is sun for front yard? approximate growing zone?] - Add a lamp post maybe [no!]...See Moreptreckel
