Eh, I guess so. I am just very indecisive about design choices because I get to live with the decision for forever. My across the street neighbor painted their house way too bright BLUE, knew it was bright after it was done, but were kinda stuck with it til they moved a few months later and the new homeowners immediately repainted it a toned down version of the exact same color. I ended up asking some girlfriends. They all liked what I showed them. It's probably going to be ok.
The nice thing in our house is my wife can't envision things like I can. So she usually defers to me on things like design, color, etc. She had almost no clue what our kitchen renovation would look like when we did that. She helped pick the granite counter and cabinetry, but admitted she couldn't "see" the end result like I could. So she gives me an idea of what color and shade she'd like and I get the sample chips. Then we go from there.
A neighbour at the end of my cul de sac just painted their house a light blue, almost white colour. And when I say house, I mean the brickwork. Not siding, but the brick. Then they went back in and did the grout lines in a darker blue to accentuate it. So yeah, don't you worry about YOUR design choices... they are solid.
They painted the brickwork? I just fainted. I guess it's only my neighbors who will have to suffer my design choices!
I've grown tired of the traditional deep red brick color. I've definitely seen painted brick that I prefer over red brick. I love brick for it's durability and low maintenance, but red brick with white trim and shutters looks so boring and dated.
My house, both photo's are from goolge street view from before i owned it. One on the left looks so much better then the one on the right(how it looks now). The brick work looks so ugly painted grey.
No, the left side is our living room and the ceiling is vaulted to the roof line. The right hand side is the dining room and kitchen, with the standard 8ft high ceiling. The black line is a normal straight wall of the middle floor, the red lines are the top floor the come to a weird point that stretch over the main level. You don't really notice it living in the house, but the vaulted ceiling in the living room is amazing. You also have a small set of windows between the 2 roof lines.
I feel like you're trying to summon a demon or something... Anywho, the second floor deck is pretty dope also.
The deck is just white now. No more shittily applied stain everywhere! The white kinda catches my eye and makes me think it snowed out there but I'll get used to it. Once I'm satisfied that it is fully cured and I put my outdoor rugs out, a lot will be obscured anyway.
There's a couple steps there, then a large landing behind me. Then the main length of stairs then go down from there to the backyard.
