Exterior Detail....

• It is always great to see homeowners that use paint to their advantage on the exterior of their homes...

• Finding a color palette/combination that works well together is worth researching and exploring...It can truly make a visual statement with one's home that is beautiful...

If you are planning to paint your home's exterior...

• Save images from magazines that have great examples that you are drawn to...

• If a friend has a color combo that has caught your eye - make note of it....

• Maybe you drive by a house in your town that has the exact look you are going for....knock on their door and ask the homeowners what the colors are...You are complimenting them and saving yourself some time too...

• You can always have small samples made up of the color palette you are thinking of and find a spot on the back of your house (or side) where you can actually paint the colors on...Seeing it on your house will make a big difference in helping you decide what is right for you and the overall look of your home...
