Question of the Day - Tuesday, September 17th

Would you like to be in charge of the Tuesday question of the day? If you would, just PM me and it could all be yours.


I'm getting ready to head outside to paint the house, so today's question is:




What color is the outside of your house, apartment, etc?





Ours is currently off-white, but we are sloooowly painting it gray.

Pale yellow. It doesn't go with the pretty tabby parts of the house, but I'm renting so I'm leaving it alone!

Good luck on painting!

I'm thinking about that too, because I'm having the house painted so it'll sell :tongue2:. It's currently cream colored with blue trim. I might go for a richer cream with chocolate brown trim (that's what I'd do if I were staying in this house), but I have to research what colors sell best, LOL. Once I move into the barn, well, it's barn red, of course .

my apartment has brick on the outside. Nothing fancy

The outside is an off-white/very pale yellow color.

Our new apartments have some brick, and are beige vinyl.

Powder blue, with white frames on the windows.

It's a tan color.  On the yellow side.  I never really know what to call it when I'm telling people how to get here!  The shutters are a burgundy red.  

If I'd been able to pick the colors it would have been a medium gray with navy and white accents.  Crisp and classic!

Beige, with white accents. The last time it was painted we chose a rose beige which looked great on the chips and in the can, but dried to salmon color! We had to look at that for over 10 years. It was horrible.
To make matters worse, our neighbors two doors down wanted rose beige, too. They got paint from another producer, and ended up with baby pink. They haven't repainted in the meantime, either.

Just brick here to

It's blue with brick-red and white trim. I would never have picked those colors but it actually looks good all put together. I have some dark red plants around the front that bring out the brick color. 

Brick with off white vinyl trim and windows. Shutters and garage doors are chocolate brown.

My apartment building is sandy coloured bricks and white trim for the windows.

i painted the outside last spring. i used Behr paint, the walls are Relaxing Green which almost looks white in real bright sunlight. the trim i painted

Isle of Pines, a dark green. the garage door and is Celtic Gray. i had to paint that twice. in the shade the Relaxing green & the celtic gray almost look the same so i took it back to home depot and had them darken it by 50%. it came out really nice.

Red brick and white vinyl siding. The front door and garage door are dark grey.

Kind of an olive green with different colored stone about 3 feet up on the front.

Chalk up another brick here

It's a bi-level, blue vinyl siding with brick up the front along the bottom (basement part) of the house. Black shutters. And a red front door (that desperately needs a paint job).
