    Great timing on this video.♡ Tis the season for paint projects. I'm currently consulting with clients mostly right now for exteriors and garden design. One more subcategory to add to your "consider the location" tip is to really, really pay attention to the houses on either side of your house. Whatever you do will greatly affect them the most. Can't tell you how many times I see three "gray" houses in a row that look green, blue, and purple, because of neighboring undertones, or the beige family, where the houses look yellow, peach, and greenish gray all lined up. Great video. The world will be a more beautiful place because you are helping to teach others. ♡
    Found your channel a few months ago, and just love hearing from a brave ("this one will get me in trouble, but, I'm just going to say it"♡) like-minded soul. Also, love the videos with you and your husband together. The way he looks at you, you can see how much he loves you. My hubby and I are still having fun after thirty years of marriage also. Sending much love from Washington state ♡♡♡

    I painted the exterior of my home last summer. Good advice on the gutters. Did not think of that. I like my color because it’s easy to keep clean and the house doesn’t stand out. It just fits in. Yes I did think about my roof color before choosing the siding paint for the 8 inch cedar siding. I went with a custom mixed color from BM. One thing you should also talk about is arborstain v paint and gloss v flat. Gloss on trim? Flat on siding? BM moorglo is a great choice for trim. But I used a flat for the siding. Also door color please a little advice on that. Stained v painted door? color match shutters? Or not necessary. What color iron work white or black ? What color fence ? So many decisions. Need a part 2 please. See you Friday ! 🤗👍🏻

    I bought my little home last year. This builder makes very modern unattached homes that are all in the gray, beige family with mostly white trim. What's fun, though, is you can choose your front door color from choices the builder provides ( all pretty ). You can also upgrade your door to have glass inserts etc. My door is light aqua which is my favorite color and hence, used alot (but not everywhere!!) as accent interior decor.

    Completely agree with what you have said. It's fun to get those creative, inspired ideas but the question I always myself is, "if I had to sell my house tomorrow, is what I would like to do going to help or hinder the sale?" If it's an easy fix, like a crazy color for an interior room, then have fun with that because it is easy to change back. But as this video points out, careful decisions need to be made with expensive issues, like exterior paint. And fortunately of unfortunately, keeping with the neighborhood style is very important, imo.

Since we're not repainting the garage or rooftop, guess we'll have to find a sill color that pairs well with them. I'm excited to start on that experiment!

    My dad was a contractor in New Orleans in the 70's, 80's 90's and he did a lot of upscale properties throughout the city and greater New Orleans area. He had such a great eye, attention to detail and could make everything beautiful. But every once in a while he would have a client that wanted to do things 100% their way because they saw it in a magazine and not trust his expertise and experience. He would politely tell them it wouldn't look right on the house or in the n'hood but he would paint it. And then.... they always HATED it, lol. They would call and say he was right and ask if he would come back and repaint the WHOLE house. He would go back and paint the house/shutters/trim the better colors and sometimes the homeowner would literally cry because they couldn't believe how beautiful it turned out. So it is important to find someone who will help make your home amazing and understands color undertones, LRV and most of all what NOT to do on your homes exterior. If a person wants to be eccentric, do it with garden art or jewelry not paint color. :)

    Great tips! I, thankfully, don't live in a neighborhood with an HOA--never will. But I do realize how important picking your house colors are. Taking into consideration the roof color, and do the trim and house paint colors work together... How the color looks in different lights. Don't pick crazy colors for sure! Unless your neighborhood has that vibe. The colors I picked(over much debate and tons of paint samples)for my house are a little different for my neighborhood, but I did notice others have copied it. And no they are not crazy, but they are cheery colors that go well with our dark gray roof(frost white trim and garage door with a soft medium cool blue for the house). So no HOA to worry about. I do call it the Easter house though. If we were ever to sell it I would re-paint it(which it is due in like 5-8 years)a nice neutral... Not that I would sell as I have no where to go. That is what happens when you live in one of the hottest housing markets in America(we are next after Boise). So for now I am enjoying my beautiful cheery Easter house with splashes of colorful flowers all over the yard from Spring through Fall! I have the same alarm system that I installed not long ago... Love it! Love you Valentina! 😊

    I bought a brand new build house in the Seattle area in 1990. Around 1992 or 1993, I decided to paint my house exterior the exact same color. The got the paint colors/brand from my builder & painted it with a roller by myself. That way, using the same exact color, the HOA didn't have to know! Plus, our builder probably didn't put it on real thick, so it was very subtle, but I think it made my house look better. My house siding was horizontal wood slats, so it was easy to start & stop over a few weekends. It rains 6 days per week for about 9 months of the year so probably not a bad idea to have an extra coat of paint put on. It only cost me a few hundred dollars.

    I watch every one of your videos, but this is the most important one to my situation so far. I don't want to make a costly mistake, but not sure what to do. I have a stucco house with some browny, beige stone work, medium beige paint, a small amount of aged/greenish metal over the front entrance, and green shutters and roof. I've had many tell me that my house is their all-time fav house ever, so I'm scared to change it but think those colors might be dated and it needs fresh paint and new roof. I don't know where to turn for some real help with this.

    Thank you for mentioning the roof color! Three years ago we had a massive hail storm and so most of my neighbors got new roofing. One of my neighbors picked the most beautiful gray roof the only problem was his house is a bright red brick. Indivually both are beautiful, separately not so much. I on the other hand, and much to my husband's frustration chose a roof color that blended the existing trim (color picked by the previous owners) and the brick and the new gutters. It took me forever and came from the most expensive category but it was well worth it.

    I'm an interior designer, and a serious Type A personality so when we were ready to paint our 50s home, I drove around our neighborhood to make sure we weren't the 6th house on the block that would be grey. Then I took a picture of the house, loaded that into CAD, then did a basic line drawing of the home, pasted that into Photoshop and then played with a hundred and one color options for the base, door, shutters and window boxes, until I found a combination that was unique, without being weird or duplicating in our neighborhood. A lot of time and effort for sure, but we are so happy with how it turned out in the end. We also knew we would be putting on a new roof, so I used the color we knew we wanted to do for the roof too. It was worth every second spent on it for sure.

      @@betwil3 I totally get it. Not everyone has the same skillset or access to some of the more specialized software, but there are some much easier ways to do what I did. I'd probably start with a picture of my house and then trace the basic outlines onto a sheet of paper, scan it into a computer then you can use a simple program like Paint or Powerpoint to fill in with paint options. As always, the colors that you get on your computer, no matter what computer, will always be a bit off depending on monitors, but it will really help give you a better idea of what will work before you paint. :-D

    Great ideas. I was recently thinking about painting my house. But I’m not sure. We might move, so there’s that. But if we stay awhile longer, maybe. It’s white with some black shutters, it’s slightly Victorian, older like 1900’s maybe a tad colonial. It looks good, does really need painting, blends with the area. The thing that bothers me is the blinding cast of sunlight in the summer. I’m in Iowa and for some reason it’s very bright!
    I was toying with the idea of just painting the lower area or trim or garage myself. And yes I’m trying to create shade with a pergola & sun sails, stuff like that.

A lot of people out here took it too far where it just looks like a regular house but in the woods. I don’t want to make the same mistake.

    Our house is a Victorian. When we were ready to paint it we drove around various neighborhoods that had Victorian houses to check out colors, and I took pictures! I also looked in Victorian magazines. That’s where I found the color palette we used! The house itself is a muted blue, and trim colors are green, yellow, white, and dark blue. It might be too many colors on some house, but it is perfect on a Victorian!

Was reading that latex is a no go for brick, but a mineral based brick stain is the way to go(whether opaque or a wash...I am looking for an opaque finish on my fed colonial brick front, probably in a white or light ivory, and doing the siding the same color)? Any experience with that?

    Such great insight as always! Another conundrum I'm running into right now is choosing a new front door. Our home was built in early 2000s and I hate the front door. It's the frosted glass with a pattern everyone used then. I'd love glass, but from the front door you can see straight through to the back. Suggestions?

      I have the same dilemma, and my plan is to get a solid front door & a beautiful storm door. That way I can control the privacy aspect of the glass & have the best of both worlds 😊

    Interesting im about to paint my house and my house is Victorian has grey roof about 7 yrs old so still has alot of life, but was in the process of painting the exterior and gutters! I was going to pick a gray with warm undertones like a griege, but my gutters will be white now im worried it will be a soar thumb having them white its going to accent them which will distract from the exterior walls what should I do? Just pick a white light color so the gutters dont stand out? Thanks in advance its a old cream color with oxidation on aluminum siding definitely needs painting 😕 😔 🤔

    What about Sherwin William color Urban Jungle for an exerior house color? Is it too yellow? Too dark? I like Tony Taupe, Accessible Beige and Mega Greige for my clients, but this color gets noticed quite a bit. Do you like Urban Jungle? What do you think of the other colors I mentioned. My clients often choose colorful front door to accent.

    Thank you for the video! Having a hard time finding exterior opinions from designers about windows. We have a stone entrance, siding and brick home. we want to paint the brick white and front siding swapped for white stucco while leaving the natural beige stone. We need to redo our roof and windows and I am struggling weather we should get black or white windows. I LOVE the look of black and white contrast, but the inside of my home is an all white, gold, white oak, rust brown and green (plants) with no black in sight. So I am hesitant on the black windows. For roof I'm thinking on a black or rust brown/orange metal roof (European feeling). We are in Canada and would be doing triple pane with tinted windows, we are also in suburbs, right next to a bunch of farms!... Any help would be appreciated!! This could be a good video idea too as I'm having a hard time finding designers talking about window exteriors and what matches!

    We line in rural Ohio and just purchased a ranch home on some acres and the exterior of our home was definitely NOT the selling point and does not give my hubby and I warm fuzzies when we see it. They put a green metal roof on it before we purchased it. What color scheme goes with green roofs???? There is white trim around the windows, tan siding and black front door Just wondering if we could paint vinyl siding too??? Thanks for your input.

    and what would you do for a house that has horrible white vinyl siding with plastic gray shutters that aren’t quite the right size for the windows? we bought the house this way and my husband is of the mind that if it ain’t broke we don’t fix it. i can’t remove the shutters because they would leave large holes in the vinyl that can’t truly be patched. ugh, ugh, ugh!

    Thank you so much Valentina. We have a brick home that we built three years ago but the brick just did not turn out the way we wanted. You mentioned checking the paint around 11 am. My question is how do we check the paint against a large home. Do we actually paint on the home? Tape a sample? How will a small sample help us?

    • @cabernethy7428
      @cabernethy7428 2 роки тому +1

      Hold the small paint sample up in front of your face in-line with one of your eyes, keeping both eyes open, fix the sample next to millwork, door jam or architectural feature . The small chip now looks wall sized, and it is sharing the same light factor as it is a foot away from your face. Now, how do you like it?
