Well, when we bought our new house we knew painting it was one of the first things we would have to tackle, so here we are tackling the job of picking a color to paint the exterior of the house. After much thought we decided that we wanted to "match" the color of the stone wall on the front of our house and that we would stick with a bright white for the trim. We decided on the trim color partly due to the windows in the addition having no trim around the white windows and therefore thought that the white would help make the trim around the house blend better.
We went through a stack of paint chips several times in order to narrow our color choices for the main exterior. We are now down to two colors. Dunn Edwards Inside Passage and High Noon. Inside Passage is the lighter color of our stone wall and High Noon is the darker color of our stone wall.
Thoughts, comments, suggestions, etc are welcome as to our color choice for the house. We are hoping to keep the cottage look and feel of the house. We are leaning towards an English cottage style for the front yard landscape, various flowers and plants that can just kind of have the unintentional feel about them - as if they just kind of grew there. Of course I will post some of the ideas for our front yard in the future, but we really do need to get the house painted soon as parts of our trim have no paint left on them.
