We all know what happens when you assume, for us you end up with peachy colored out buildings. Funny that this brown color was the one color that Robert and I both agreed we did not like.
The scenario went something like this, I went to Home Depot and picked up three samples one red for the door, two light brown for the eaves and out buildings. I realized they had labeled a couple of them wrong when I discovered one of the light brown colors was labeled brickdust, a dark red color. But I ASSUMED that they had just swapped the two labels and when we liked the other brown we went ahead and gave the painter the sample color without verifying it was labeled correctly. Therefore, we now have peachy out buildings and really they look downright pink in the right sunlight.
So now we are back to sorting out what brown color we want because I cannot find the red with a brown label and don't remember the name of other color I picked up that day. So we are going through all the light browns I have picked up, which is a lot, and we will have a polka dotted garage soon.

ReplyDeleteConsidering all the mix-ups with the browns, I think your house looks great! I love the red doors; they look fantastic! I love how bold and rich the color is, and I’m sure those doors will look even better when paired with the right shade of browns.

Your red doors look great! They totally complement the lightness of your brick siding. There are different shades and hues of the same red in the color palette of the siding, and that’s why they go so well together. I love the little windows in your doors! It’s a great way to see outside without showing off too much of what’s inside.
