Home Sweet Home
This quite possibly may qualify as one of my least colorful and most “mild” design posts to date. However, it’s a great visual for the oh so popular grey paint colors. Over the summer, I chose all of the finishes and colors for a family member’s new home being built close by. She wanted something fresh and modern yet keeping with the traditional Craftsman style…
EXTERIOR
For the siding, I chose Dovetail by Sherwin Williams which is a really beautiful cool gray with slight blue undertones. The trim and vinyl soffets are Linen. I wanted to create an eye catching contrast between the siding and the stone so I chose a very warm colored stone called Pennsylvania by Centurion. The stone is a “ledge” style which gives it a more rustic look. This contrast between the cool siding and the warm stone is striking. For the door, I wanted to have some fun and add my signature pop of color so I chose Waterscape by Sherwin Williams.

INTERIOR
For the interior of the home, I chose to stay with the same color scheme for a unified look and a very neutral palette. Once again, the contrast between the grey walls and the white trim gives it a very fresh look and feel. All paint colors listed below…

Who is the siding manufacturer? Beautiful home!
Thanks so much! I’m not sure! Sorry about that!
Beautiful home! Could you please tell me the roof/shingle color by chance!!? I would be SO grateful. [email protected]
I love your design style! I am currently into revamping my own home from the inside out. I want to update my front porch and have thought about painting the concrete floor that leads up to the front door. Any tips. suggestions, color scheme ideas? I’d love to see the front of your house yet, but haven’t seen pictures on the blog…but I am still investigating 🙂 Thank you for all you have shared!
Thank you Michelle! Gosh that’s really hard to say without seeing it! I know I would definitely suggest a concrete stain rather than a paint so it doesn’t chip as easy. Thanks!
Beautiful choices! It looks like there are two different colors for the exterior siding (a light color on top and a dark color for the lower half). Can you list which one is Dovetail and what the other one is called? Thanks!
Good afternoon! The siding and shingles are actually both Dovetail by Sherwin Williams. They may appear different because they are painted onto different materials and because the bottom part gets some shadowing. Thanks so much!
Hi! Beautiful! What is the color of the shaker shingles on the exterior? Is it Dovetail as well?
It looks like the top half is Lattice

I have the same question, too. It looks like the shingles are a lighter grey than the lower siding. Do you know the color of the shingles? Thank you in advance!

Hi, loving the pops of blue with the door and window details! Did you add the blue detailing on the windows, or is that a window style that can be purchased? I’ve never seen anything like that before.
Good afternoon! There aren’t any blue detailing on the windows. Maybe the shadows are making it appear that way. Thanks for reading!
I love these colors so much. In fact, we are buying a home and immediately painting the exterior. I love the grays with blue undertones, and my husband prefers greens. We have a cream colored stone. We also have a big, ugly garage door that will be painted. I’m so excited, as it will change the entire look of our new house. However, I’m having so much trouble deciding. Sure wish you could help me choose! I specifically love the statement front door!
Thank you Amy! You are so sweet! Good luck deciding! How fun!!
Lovely colors. I especially like the front door, the perfect pop of color.
I love the color choices and I love the color of the ledgestone next to the grey. I never would have thought of that.
I’ve seen that people are asking if you used another color of grey besides the dovetail….and I’m wondering the same. If you did, what color is it? Also, what color is the white? When I search for Linen on the S-W website, it only comes up with Crisp Linen SW 6378.
Thanks in advance!

I just got your response to my email asking more about the siding color. Thank you so much for responding! You did a great job on this house! Thank you again so much!
Where are the outdoor lights from? Love them!
Love this house! Do you have the plans? I am about build my home and love this style of home!
Love the color combo’s. Could you please tell me what white paint color you used for the exterior trim? You stated it is linen. However the SW, linen looks more yellow than the bright white in your photo.
Can you tell me what is the color and manufacturer of
the roof shingle? Trying to decide if it lends toward the brown, grays, and/ or blacks. Thank you.
I would also like to know this.
when you search “linen” from sherwin williams it comes up with two colors, “crisp linen” and “natural linen”. Do you know what the actual name of the color of the exterior trim is?
Beautiful home! What color is the white trim on the exterior of the house? i know you said linen but i can’t find it.
Brittany – this is really lovely! Do you recall what the white trim paint color is? You mentioned Linen . . . Thank you so much . . .. there are so many whites!!
I just love this! One question…you have Dovetail listed as the exterior siding color…but the shake and regular siding look to be 2 different colors…???
Wow! Beautiful job! I am currently choosing the color for our new home 🙂 I love this and just picked up the dovetail gray swatch (SW 7018) — it does look much more blue in your photo. Do you know if this looks like your swatch? Thanks!
Did you end up painting your home the Dovetail? I’ve been looking at samples all over my house and for some reason I am seeing purple come through and am scared to paint two buildings with it.
Do you have the floorplan for this house?
Do you have any information on the actual front door? Did you install? I’m looking for something similar.
Your front door is what I have been looking for and no one can tell me where to get it or the brand. Do you have any information at all on it. I would appreciate it so so much! I want the 3 window 3 panels and everything I can find is 3 window 2 panel.
I have been looking for the exact same style door as well and cannot find one similar! Have you had any luck since?
Hi! Do you have the name/color of the ledgestone?
I hope you see this! Any chance you can find out the maker of the front door? I can’t find anything on the interwebs — they all have 2 bottom panels not 3….! I love this house so much!
Building a home and was looking to use mostly stone and some hardie. However, the cost of the stone is much more than expected. Therefore, I am looking to use some brick, stone and hardie that compliments. Would you provide your manufacturers and exterior color schemes for this home. It all looks beautiful together. Thank you in advance.
We are building a home and I would love to use the brick & stone combo you have. Could you please let your readers know the names of the brick and stone used on your home I found you have it?
Love this home! Can you tell the roof color and manufacture?
What is the roof shingles brand and color?
Beautiful colors! However, I am confused on the trim color. It looks very white in the photo, but the SW website identifies crisp linen as very yellow. Can you confirm the color of the trim on this home? Thank you.
Love the colors! Please share the white color name. SW does not have a linen color that’s this white. Looks more like Pure White or Extra White.
