This weekend was comprised of serious first world problems… A severe loss of sleep (okay, kidding) over dang exterior paint colors. As I chatted about in my last post on this very same matter, exterior colors are my arch nemesis. I can plan interior colors in my sleep. Sometimes I literally create the best paint plans at around 11:30pm when my head hits the pillow. They look freaking amazing. In my head. And then come 7am the next morning, I can’t remember a single thing. Why is it that our brains work best around that hour? I tell Mark goodnight and he’s always like “ugh, you woke me up!”. I mean seriously (insert eye rolling emoji)…

Back to paint colors… So I have been glued to Pinterest for about a week now. And every single time I search “craftsman white exterior” absolutely nothing comes up. Seriously try it. It’s crazy. I know… I know… I know… Craftsman homes aren’t historically white BUT I just had my heart set on something light and bright. Something different. But I just can’t seem to visualize it.

Sunday after church we picked up several more quarts at the paint store and headed over to OHW to try out a couple more. And I just CANNOT DECIDE!!! The painting crew is literally getting started today but they do have several days of scraping and wood repair before I actually have to purchase the paint. And then I got to playing on Benjamin Moore’s Personal Color Viewer paint visualizer. And I have to admit… I started to kind of fall IN love with a dark charcoally blue and fall a little OUT of love with the white. See what I mean?!?…

For some reason this image did not work the best with other colors so I found another image from another angle where the lighting was better and the color visualizer seemed to work better.

Here are some ideas and let me know in the comments below what YOU like best!
