Highland House

Choosing the Perfect Exterior Paint Colors for our Farmhouse Bungalow Flip Renovation…

(this photo was taken pre-renovation)

Good afternoon friends! It is 5pm on a Saturday night and I am currently staring at my computer with paint covered hands trying to nail down a paint color for our flip house. Soooooo fun. And driving Mark nuts with my indecisiveness. You see, approximately 99.9% of the time I am the quickest decider ever. I can select interior paint colors and wallpaper and furniture and everything in between in about two seconds flat. But then there’s exterior colors…. not my jam. Except door colors. I do LOVE a good door color! Oh and restaurant decisions… forgot about that. I think I don’t care and will eat whatever until Mark starts naming things. And then everything sounds horrible. So maybe it is closer to 95% of the time that I am quick and efficient. But you get what I mean…

ANYWAYS, this girl is currently on the struggle bus about our “Highland House”. Serious struggle bus. I cannot freaking decide! You see, if it were MY HOME I would do it quite differently than when it is just being sold to the random public. That means that I have to go the ever so slightly more normal route and stay in the “safe zone”. Which if you haven’t guessed… IS NOT MY THING! Mark has decided that he does want me to “do my thing” on the insides of our flip homes now but exteriors are a little more tricky.

As you may have seen on my IG stories the other day, I love playing around with the Benjamin Moore Personal Color Viewer. You can see the many options I played around with for our current home on this post… “Having Second Thoughts“. Their color visualizer helped me SOOO much with our home and I am obsessed the color I chose. And now here I am again. Stuck. So here’s a peek at some of the options I have played around with AND keep scrolling for the four we have narrowed it down to. Make sure and sign up to follow my blog to see this project and all of our future flips come to life!
