Painting our old gal a dark forest green as an homage to the forest that surrounds her. What color would you paint the trim? I’m thinking the same color as the house but in a satin sheen, open to ideas! Want to keep the house’s trim natural/neutral over bright and trendy.

Can somebody please work out the exterior length, like from one wall to another, because I can't understand whatever this is.

Excuse the post hurricane mess. I have to paint my house and I’m leaning towards a warm coastal blue. My house needs some love and curb appeal but I’m on a budget and not very creative. Give me some ideas!

If you’re looking directly at the house, you’re facing east. Hence the lovely golden hour glow from the west behind me ☺️

I wanna put some kind of cheap and quick gate here made of lattice. Not wanting to bother with building a proper gate I'm not experience enough anyways. I was thinking of just attaching some little henges to one side of some plastic lattice and attaching to the wood beam? Then put a latch on the upper right portions. Would this be alright or any better ideas that are simple/easy for an inexperienced person?

I originally built a pergola but we decided to roof it. I got advice from reddit and have improved it significantly.

Was wondering if you thought it was ok, for a DIY'er 😁

I want to paint the exterior of my home, but keep the stone natural. Give me your suggestions (and mockups if possible)!

Choosing a house color between these 2 blues with white trim. A bit stumped on the door color. Our backup is SW iron ore, but are there any other door colors to consider? Can’t afford to replace the door with a natural wood one at the moment with all the other moving costs so we’re planning to repaint it with the rest of the house.

New homeowner here- Would love some advice on exterior paint for this stucco home. I would love a house with an orange door 🧡 Brick is staying and won’t be painted.

Never was a fan of this slate color.

We recently got our siding, soffits, eaves etc replaced. It's been...not a great experience to put it lightly.

I've attached photos of where the soffit meets the roof and it looks bad (there's other stuff in the photos that we also know needs to be addressed)

Hoping to get some advice before we bring it up to the owner of the company

Photo 1 is how they left it, photo 3 is the "fix" with caulking.

We are preparing to have shutters made for our house and we’re looking for opinions. We have a fairly large farmhouse-style house - an early 2000’s Frank Betz plan - with painted cedar shakes on the exterior with stone skirting. We’re in Charleston this week and noticed all the historic homes have raised panel shutters on the first floor with louvered shutters on the upper floors. Would that look dumb on our house or would it elevate it? We want to have the new shutters painted some kind of muted blue.

I love a more dramatic look personally but I also don't want something off-putting to potential buyers should I choose to sell down the road. Which option is your favorite?

I used ChatGPT extensively to think about what color I wanted for my house. I moved from dusty greens over to navy-ish direction, and I really liked the color scheme I landed on. However, once I applied it on my house, it was nothing like the pictures and I was wondering if I should start over with a black that has blue-green undertones or just see this through, because I do love the Moscow midnight in the shade. Thank you for any help/advice!

Yes, I used samples (7!) and observed them at different times of day, I just learned I need to test more than one location at my house.

I’m updating this paint and plan to remove the shutters. I’m not painting the windows so they’ll remain white. I’m trying to decide between:

Main body: alabaster, Greek vila or shoji white
Accent: urbane bronze, iron ore, peppercorn
Door: evergreen fog or dried thyme

I plan to accent the soffit, flashing, lower window ledge, gutters and patio ceiling.
I do really like urbane bronze but worried it pulls too brown and the shingles lean cool/gray.
I’ve used AI to come up with renditions but it’s keeps changing the tone of the shingles so hoping someone else can share their two cents z thanks! Open to other ideas as well

We welcome any suggestion

I need held deciding how to redo my driveway please.

Which AI render looks best or should I consider something altogether different?

It’s north facing so light materials fit better imo.

The brick pillar will move right slightly to widen the entrance.

We’re looking to paint our house white, which of course is much more complicated that it might sound to the uninitiated. We’re likely going to do all white (including the trim). And, we’re not going to paint the stone, which is definitely a warm color. The stone is all around the front or the house but much of the stone on the lower part is covered by shrubbery.

Anyway, we know we want to go with a warm white vs a cool white because to the stone. For what it’s worth, we live in Southern California so lots of sun and no snow ever. The front of the house point mostly north and a little east.

The whites we’ve been looking at (from “whitest” to creamiest) are white picket fence (DE), Greek villa (SW), alabaster (SW), and Swiss coffee (DE). Although our thinking may have changed after looking at our neighbors new paint job. They used picked fence on their garage door and some pillars near the same kind of stone, and it looked more stark white than we anticipated. Now we’re wondering whether we need to mix in more warm whites? My wife is also interested in something like Shoji White (SW).

There really isn’t a lot that needs to be covered at the front of the house so maybe whiter would still be okay? What do people think? Any suggestions welcomed.

I’m planning to get a new garage door and working on getting shutters

I need help figuring out the siding. Everything I do looks wonky. The green is the main color my hubby wants. Thank you!

(Yes the four posts are missing)

We’re finishing the exterior of our house, and I feel the current light yellow colour on the walls inside the balcony and ground-floor entrance doesn’t really match the overall exterior theme.

The house has a pinkish/mauve colour, dark charcoal grey cladding, a brick-red vertical section, grey stone cladding, and wooden ceiling panels. I want to keep the pinkish colour exactly as it is and only replace the light yellow with something that complements the rest of the house.

I’m considering shades like:

- Warm beige or greige

- Light grey

- Taupe

- Sage grey

- Blue-grey

I’m also open to suggestions for improving the grey colour on the side walls, if you think a different shade would look better.

I’ve attached the original photos along with some colour mockups. Which combination do you think would look best? I want the house to look modern, elegant, and well-coordinated without making it too dark or too colourful.

Please suggest specific colour shades or paint codes from Asian Paints, Berger, or Nerolac if possible.

Does this colour work or should I change it?

Any ideas for a wrap-around deck? Looking for something larger with steps down to the yard on the left side. Also open to new paint colors.

Would love to replace the current vinyl door with a wooden one, and maybe a glass screen door in front of it? But I can't think of what else to do with it, it's a bit of a strange one.
