House painting continues

The house painting project is continuing. This week, the painter finished the entire base of the house and is starting on trim. It's finally starting to come together!

Although a small amount of pink remains, nearly all of it has been covered, which makes me very happy! In this photo, you can see the base color well. I would describe it as a dark caramel color. You can also see one of the trim colors (two shades lighter than the base) on the scallops around the bay window.




Here's a closer view of that same area. The trim directly around the windows will be white. It's a nice contrast against the caramel color. We purchased new black pre-painted shutters which haven't been hung yet. I love the sharpness of the black against the caramel color!

We took down our garage lights this week and spray painted them black. Over time, they had faded to a gray color. The spray paint makes them look like new! In this photo, you can see the base color of the house against the freshly painted garage doors. The trim around the doors will be white.

I'm pleased with how the painting project is progressing. I hope it will be wrapped up in the next week or two. I'm anxious to see the entire color scheme come together!

It looks like a different house. The green of the bushes looks so nice against the caramel color. And the photo with the pink peeking through is kind of fun, shows the transformation!

Thank you! I was really nervous to see how the color would look on the WHOLE house. Even though I tested it, you never know.

Thanks for sharing. From my professional house painting experience, a simple house repaint can completely change the look of a home. In addition, painting your home is the cheapest way to increase your house value - those who are in the market to sell their home, keep this in mind!
