A few simple rules to choosing exterior paint color - 

Consider the roof color when choosing your new color -  Roof color should be darker than the house color - Make the door stand out with a darker or bright color - Accent the trim and architecture of the house with a contrasting or complimenting color - take into consideration size as a dark color will make a small house look smaller.

Herringbone

NEW WALL COLOR...

 NOTHING DATES A HOME FASTER THAN COLOR......

you'd think early 80's

dusty blue and pink?

90's

gold, tan, green and red....

early 2000? 

so what color trend will our current decade be remembered for?
