Before and After- Rob's House

I love it when readers do two things:

1. Follow my advice exactly.
2. Send me a photo.

These are some after photos of this post and this post

What do you think?

Paint Colors for Rob

My sister's friend wants me to select his exterior paint scheme for him. Or maybe my sister wants me to select it for him... I'm really unsure. Anyway- he has an orangish brick home- with white trim. He has a large barn next to it, as well as an addition on the back. (It is actually far too lovely to be a barn- but that's what they call it.) He wanted to do the barn and addition in red- to which I say- heck no. Charming in the photo above- but obnoxious on a large scale. Even if the red were not so bright- I can't imagine it going well with orangish brick.

If I get to choose- it is going to be a shade of green. I love green on the exterior. Especially soft muted olive greens like the bungalow above.

I also like the grayer greens...

And celedon greens...

Green looks great with brick.

And I also am quite fond of the black and off white pallet mixed with brick.

The black is so pretty.

So- Rob- this is what I say-

Sherwin Williams 6138 Artifact for the body of the addition and barn.

Sherwin Williams 6154 Nacre for the painted trim.

Sherwin Williams 6160 Best Bronze for the door.

Anyone have an orangish brick home? What paint colors are used with it? Anyone prefer a pallet from the above photos? Are there any that you don't like?
