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?!?…

OHW Exterior

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!

So here was our favorite combo from my last post…

    I have a hard time picking out paint colors but I love the darker paint colors like option 10. Pinterest is a great tool for paint color searching but you end up being persuaded by whats on trend and not what you really like. I can’t wait to see it all finished especially what hardwood you pick out.

    I love #1 and #4 – but I am way more drawn to the lighter colors on this home! I feel the darker colors, although beautiful, don’t make the house “pop”.. The historic characteristics stand out so much more with the lighter colors, it really draws your eye to the home.

    We painted our home a dark charcoal color with white trim four years ago, and although I love it, I am itching for something lighter and fresher in just four short years!

    But, ultimately, I know whatever you choose will be stunning! 🙂

    I love all of the dark options! I really wanted to paint my home dark, my favorite pin on Pinterest is of a home that’s dark with white trim. My hold backs on it were 1- someone told me the darker you go it’ll have to be repainted much sooner? 2- What does it do to your A/C bill? If you have a lot of trees shading your home (not the case with my home) then I’m sure it’ll help. All that said, my vote is dark!

    We just painted the exterior of our home. I was like you, indecisive on the colors I wanted. I must have had 20 colors painted on the side of my house. It’s a huge decision! Finally, I made up my mind. I used SW paint colors, Shoji White (7042) for the body of the house, Pavestone (7642) for the trim, and Dutch Tile Blue (0031) for the porch ceilings and front door. Our home has red brick accents like yours 🙂 I am very happy with the way it turned out! It is similar to option #6 & 9 on the blog. Good luck!!! I know it will be beautiful!!

    Option 3,8 or 10 (if I’m reading the captions correctly) you can’t go wrong with that dark blue/gray/soot !!! I seriously LOVE that color ONLY on the right homes and this is one of them that it works. Honestly I don’t care for ANY of the white/lighter colors on this house at all. You have amazing style and I can’t believe that you could go wrong w any thing that you choose, but I totally get being stuck on picking out a color for something. I’m the same way. But seriously, go for the dark toned blues!!!

    #3, #8, and #10 colors look great for your house! I’m not sure what it is either but maybe the height of the house and lighter color just makes it less impressive. Maybe if there were window shutters on all the windows and doing a darker color on those to contrast the lighter color on the siding that may work.

    I love the paint colors you chose for your parents’ house, and it fits it so perfectly. I was just thinking about those colors and may need to pin it for future reference.

I like Blank Ink, Witching Hour and Soot for sure based on these pictures, but go with your gut and first instinct! You may regret going dark after wanting a light bright and white house 🙂 I think that in the end this house is such a classic it could pull off any color combo! Good luck and can’t wait to see what you decide!

    The roof is so dark. IMO that is why the white doesn’t look right. I redid a 1970’s home and used a white but I have a cedar shake roof. White house with pitch black roof is harsh. The darker house color looks better with the dark roof.

    I love options #3, #8, and #10. The dark, rich colors just really seem to enhance the features of the house. I think lighter paint colors look better on maybe smaller homes with a little more feminine detail. Darker paint with light trim definitely seems to be the direction to go with OHW, but I know it will be absolutely stunning no matter what you decide!

    It’s such a big house, you can afford to go so dark. I feel your pain, though. I agonized for weeks over the color choice for my sunroom. Something about outdoor light just changes paint so much. Good luck!

    As much as I love a white house, I really love the way the dark paint looks on your home. I would go with 8 or 10. But, of course, at the end of the day you get to come home to this beauty so go with what makes your heart sing!

    Love #4. It’s not to dark and makes the house pop. I think hat color would look amazing with some stained wood accents maybe your deck and front door.

    I know that in this modern day, light and bright seem appetizing. BUT this house has an aura from a different era, so I think option 10 (I actually think the green that it has now looks best!!!!) might be the only way to meld the inside with the “spirit” outside. ♡♡♡ Love this blog!

    I definitely think the dark siding with white trim is the best, it showcases the beautiful brick and makes all the trim pop! I made this decision on our house 13 years ago and have never regretted it! and have fun with the front door color if you can, I change mine every few years! Can’t WAIT to see this house when it’s done, as I’m sure you can’t either!

    Oh I normally would say go with the white but these dark colors look AMAZING on your house. I love #8 and 10. So much so I’m going to try these on our house. Thank goodness my hubby owns a painting company.

    Option 10 makes the white trim pop. It is such a clean line. That’s my vote.

    For your home, I’m drawn to the darker colors with the navy undertones. I get warm, cozy, historic vibes yet still it’s still fresh. I especially like the darker color against the red brick and the tone of the doors. Best wishes! PS- I just painted the exterior of my home all white with greyish/blue shutters and LOVE it, so I’m surprised too that I’m drawn to the darker colors for yours.

    Without shutters the only one I like is the dark color. Your house has a historical feel, with the colonial red, have you considered the Ben Moore Historical collection…. i have used them many times and mixed them with brighter colors as well. They are definitely one of my go too’s!…

    I love options 8 & 10. This is such a charming (humongous) home. I think the light is too safe of a choice. The darker (navy) shades give it tons more personality!!

    Are you painting the red brick? Because that would make a huge difference in the exterior color choice. If you are leaving the brick as is, I would go with option 6 or 8.

Is your house still recovering from all of the gli Is your house still recovering from all of the glitter, snow and pine needles? Don’t worry… you have one whole month until the next Holiday! 🤣 We’ve been through one too many stik vacuums over the last few years but between the lack of suction and the inability to stand up on their own, they’ve all driven me CRAZY!!! Last Fall we got the Brand New @hoover Emerge Stik Vacuum and immediately ordered one for my boutique and our cabin! It is LIGHT YEARS better than any we’ve tried so happy to say… our hunt is over! P.S. It also converts into a hand vacuum with attachments for everything from vacuuming out your car to cleaning your baseboards! #HooverPartner
The perfect addition… to cozy up your kitchen ♥️ One thing about these rails is that although they are often thought of as something you hang over a stove, you can actually hang them most anywhere in your kitchen. Almost any backsplash spot, a side wall or even over a console. I actually love when people double them up and hang tons of pots and pans! P.S. If you are worried about things getting dirty over your stove, simply hang items you use often and they’ll make their way through the cleaning cycle quite a bit. Even this little basket can be thrown into the wash 🥰 Everything is linked on today’s blog post and right here…
