Exterior Color Inspiration

I saw this little home today, Lila said we should walk home from the mechanic’s shop even though it was pretty far. She can always convince me that we need a good walk. Children are sent to us for our own good..
We walked past this little secret sweet home in a part of town not known for it’s aesthetic beauty, I love to see good design when I’m not expecting it. This little home is a good reminder that a couple of gallons of paint cost the same regardless of whether it’s a good color or not!  If you are at a loss, send me a picture of your exterior and I will send you some colors to try.

C2 Blue Grotto & C2 Daffodil  from C2 Paint could work to recreate the above palette.

 

 

Entry Feature Wall Design

I designed this entry wall with the help of a talented tile setter. We searched for varying depths of marble and set in an ordered random pattern. It was great fun to participate in. Whitney Architecture designed the door, railing and skylight.  The homeowner and I chose the wall color & floor stain.
