Face lift with curb appeal

What a difference paint can make!

We have all heard of curb appeal and how the first impression people get of your home is the most important one.  Simple color changes make big impact to all of your spaces but it is a HUGE difference to the outside.  

The most overlooked area for a color decision is the roof.  It usually is at least 1/3 of your frontal space, so it needs to be taken into account when choosing colors.  Siding, trim, shutters and door are the paintable areas that you want to harmonize with the roof and surroundings.  Everything in decorating is cohesive if you stick with the odd number rule.  Slate gray roof, taupe siding and red door is the odd number rule.  The trim in white and railings in black are shades but we still have 5 colors.

Add some green for shrubs, hints of red and white in your flowers, some tall spiky grasses and you have a brand new home, ready for anything!

Happy Decorating!
Before...BORING!

During....

After and what a POP!
