Exterior Colour Before & After; Blue to Brown

After – Photos by Maria Killam

Years ago, when I first started colour consulting I snapped a picture of this house in Shaunessy because the blue gray on this house reminded me of the standard off-the-shelf colour one could find in a paint store. Everytime I see a house that’s painted a cold blue gray like this one I think to myself, ‘Yellow Trim, that is all we need here”. It almost makes me want to run up and leave the homeowner a note.

Last week, I drove by the same house and here it is re-painted in the current browns of today! And in a colour that I have specified many times in the last 7 years that the brown trend has become so popular!

The landscaping in the front has grown in quite a bit as you can tell. The homeowner graciously allowed me to take some photos, so I could show you the transformation!

It was early afternoon so the sun was still behind the house, it would have been better if it was on the other side, you can see some rays on the photo highlighting this lovely home.
