What color would you paint this house

I like that idea

paint it black....it will hide the blood....bwahahaha

dark green trim

How about a light charcoal grey with lavender accents? Or if not lavender accents, how about light pink ones?

This is my forte'...as a Professional Painter and Decorator for 40yrs I have found a couple of colour schemes that are extremely easy on the eye.
A pale blue on the walls with white windows and dark blue trim would be in good if you're in a warm climate, it seems to add a sense of the summery feel.
If you're in a colder area then darker tones of the blues can be used and if prefered maybe a change to pale green on the walls with white windows and darker green trim.
Dark colours will absorb more heat in the wintery days and the lighter colours will of course deflect heat on hot days.
Yellows of any sort may look nice but it will only cost you more because of it's inability to 'cover' and you'll need more coats of paint to get the desired effect.

I hope this helps...:)

I love that can you send it with the house with the picture of it. I would be grateful to see it on the house

...I wouldn't have a clue on how to do that...my computer skills are somewhat below par. In the past we just drove around the nieghbourhood checking out colour schemes or you could google them? Sorry....have you tried putting the photo in your 'paint' section of your computer.?

Is she going to "flip" the house? If so, yellow houses sell faster. So I would go with a lt. yellow w/ white accents.

No not really she bought it because of convenience and close to comute. She uses transits and does not own a car. Very convenient for her. The housing market in this area for forclosures is startling and she realy made wha I think a wise decision. Not necessarily an investment but it is cheaper than renting and she is a go getter personality. Hard worker.

this area is very artsy fartsy and there are many rehab renovation programs and things available. I have told her to take advantage now before it is gone and it will be gone soon.

Skip the paint and get siding also pressure wash the front steps.

Ah if she hsd the money.

Ohhhh - sorry. Well good luck to her no matter what color.

That looks awesome, hard to do but awesome nonetheless....:)

I know right!

Fresh cream with red accents.

Medium yellow...with white accents,plant some flowering bushes in the front and put some window boxes...green ones.

White will make it look larger, and don't forget the brighter your colors are the more they will fade, and show it. I would go off white with a couple of shades of green for the trim.

White with black accents and a red door.

Really bright yellow... and purple or a deep red.

I am thinking a shade of sage green with complimetntary colors or even white to make it stand out. She likes Beige. Everything is so beige in this world so I was not all about that . I would welcome your thoughts.

she has been working tirelessly cleaning out the inside and making it livable and now she is looking at the exterior and what curb appeal would do.

Also any ideas about wood floors very damaged and stained from the 1900's that would be better than replacement would be appreciated. It is her project (thank goodness) I admire her spirit very much and she gets it done. This particular home is located in the Cleveland, Ohio area and was bought for pennies on the dollar. Take a look and have fun with it.

I appreciate your input and knowledge.

Get the floors refinished. I wouldn't try to do it myself, but get some bids from different contractors, and then make sure you check out their work with people they have done work for. If they are worth anything they won't mind giving you some names, and contact information.

She expresses that they are severly pet stained. Trust me we have suggested that but not sure she can afford to rip them out . she may paint them which goes aganst my grain but it my work

White accents

I think the white will work convince her LOL

I ike the white idea as well and using accents. Cute house and she is really working hard to get it up to stats.

Actually, I changed my mind. Paint it clear.

how do yo paint it clear? LOL You nut

:D

Sherwin Williams has an excellent Arts & Crafts pallet. The "hot" colors in my neighborhood (predominately 1910-1930s homes) is a muted green with burgundy and cream.

I have looked at those programs and I cannot come up with a color for her. I think she wants awesome color and she knows that she needs to sand, and smooth and primer etc... This girl is dedicated. This home in Cleveland revitalization program was forclosed on and really a mess but not impossible purchased for 15 grand. Less than a new car. the picture shown is much better than when she purchased it. This house to her had possibilities. Colors are fun!

Oh the possibilities are endless!!!!

I love that feel
Can you see this little house like that I can.
