dUSt Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Since my wife and I can't decide, I am placing the decision of my house color into your hands dear pham.

dUSt Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 And if anybody knows anything about architecture... Is this a tudor style house? Are there any design "rules" or things I should keep in mind that relate to the architectural/design integrity of this style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I voted for number 4. Whenever I see a yellow house or a house with yellow trim, it always makes me smile cuz it is such a happy color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKolbe Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 maybe put some $ into landscaping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 Oh, also... we were thinking about painting the brick because neither one of us likes the white, but decided against it. One, it would be more work to paint, and two, it would require future maintenance. Also, the roof is steel and has a lifetime warranty so won't be replaced in our tenure--so it's staying dark gray--another thing we have to consider in the house colors, since the roof is so visible.

T-Bone _ Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I like #1 the best, but any of the "dark on light" look good. Don't do #4. My neighbors have a brightly colored house, and it's an eyesore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigid Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I voted five, and two's my second favorite. five is the brightest, imo, because of the white. and I like the contrast between the white and brown, with the gray windows. if you want more color, I'd go with six.

Thy Geekdom Come Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I said 6, and yes, it's tudor style. I like GuyWithAFoil's version best. White-washed bricks are not old enough to be considered "in style retro" yet. They're just ugly. Sorry. In any case, those boards on the gable that are currently painted white should be painted a different color from their background...really brings out the tudor style a lot better. I spent the first 4 years of my life in a tudor house. I'm a bit partial to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picchick Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I voted 7...i think the green sets off the other colors I do like guy with a foil's too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Its a bungalow with a tudor accent. I voted for green. Eventually you can take off the large board siding and do something to match the design on first gable. The scale of that siding is disconcerting.
