The house is red brick, trim is white and has white shutters, and has two front doors with concrete steps. I'm painting the steps and front doors and plan to leave the house trimmed in white.Could someone please help me choose a color to paint front doors and steps of a red brick house w/white trim??
I'd try to match the brick color for the steps, then paint the door the same color or stick with the white.Could someone please help me choose a color to paint front doors and steps of a red brick house w/white trim??
we also have a red brick with white trim...when we did the doors i actually matched the door color to my inside wood trim (we have the very wide original trim in our 100 plus y/o home) so the new door is a wood look and it looks like it's always been there...my worry was that a new door would look new on our very old house.
I'd do the stairs the brick red color, you want the door to be a contrasting color, perhaps a heritage color green or shibui color (almost black, drk brown) Mink for door and storm for cement... add a couple of potted evergreen trees by each side of the door.
check Benjamin Moore website:j

A nice subtle yellow might look nice
I would paint the door a hunt green or british racing green semigloss or black. Only problem with green door is a Christmas wreath will vanish on it. Also a copper-patina green--ask at the paint store--would be classic and is excellent with a brick color. Steps should look like stone, so try a grey or cream cement paint. Match the paint to your brick mortar so it matches something. You may ask about adding sand to the paint for texture, but it may wear off the heavily used center of the step if it is a used entrance so maybe texture on the side areas and plain on the step part..
Black or navy blue would look good.
you should play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family %26amp; color name, the ';painted'; rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think a green, like ';gecko'; (# 6719) would contrast the red brick beautifully.

What colors to paint my room?
Pick your favorite color. I know that's such a generic answer but maybe this will help.

It's fun to play around with and you'll save$$$ on paint if you know what you like when you go buy it! Instead of returning it because its not the perfect color. Anyway, hope this helps!
I like lavenders, creams, and bronze (weird mix but they looks really good together)What colors to paint my room?
Well, in a bedroom you may want to choose a cool color such as blues or greens as those are soothing and restful, colors like bright reds, yellows and oranges are striking but can be energizing. If you do want to go with something like a bright red then pick one or two walls and do just those walls. Avoid to dark of a shade as dark colors shrink spaces. Apartment hunting one time, I found a room that had a black ceiling, it made the room look tiny. Another good idea is to go to the paint/hardware store and look through the brochures they have with the paint chips, sometimes you can get a really good idea from that. Have fun!What colors to paint my room?
Take your favorite color, and then put different shades of it for each wall. For example, in my room, I have the wall with my door dark green, the sides palish green, and the side with my window in between.

I麓m an esl primary teacher and i麓m wondering what would be the best color to paint a classroom?
I mean if I麓m gonna use flashcards, should I paint it white or gray? is it too boring?I麓m an esl primary teacher and i麓m wondering what would be the best color to paint a classroom?
Paint it with blue or green's pale ones so light comes in and the room looks bigger.
Light colours like blues and greens promote learningI麓m an esl primary teacher and i麓m wondering what would be the best color to paint a classroom?
I'd do a bright color so the flashcards will stand out against the color, and if these kids are from other countries, I don't think Gray is very inviting.
most defently to boring...i use to be in ESOL...our class room was gray and i always felt like painting over it because it looked to pale and dead to me that it would let me concentrate...do a more bright color like a pastel green (but not baby pastel) maybe an light orange ..but always a color that brings in light in the room and one that makes it seem welcoming...
Russell N is right. Light Blue or Green. Although for some reason, personally light green seems a bit too much like a ';hospital';...I'd go with light blue. :)
Thanks for all you do with the kids! God Bless!colon cleansing

We are moving into a house that has 2 extra rooms, and both rooms are painted girl colors.?
We have a boy and we wanted to paint one of the rooms a boyish color, they wont let us paint it because its custom painted, hand painted with a sponge. I respect that, but can anyone else help me figure out how to decorate the room so my son has a boyish looking room, I have heard maybe I can hang bed sheets the color I want over the walls, but thats probably tacky.... PLEASE HELP!!!We are moving into a house that has 2 extra rooms, and both rooms are painted girl colors.?
Let him cover the walls with posters of the things he likes.We are moving into a house that has 2 extra rooms, and both rooms are painted girl colors.?
You can find some cotton material that you like, fold it in quarters then lay it in a tray. Use liquid starch and wet the material well. Do not wring material, more like squeeze out excess starch. Now spread material over the wall, use your hand or a soft brush to smooth the material out. Let it dry before you trim off excess material. When you get ready to move just peel material off of the wall and wash. You can rinse the wall lightly if you think you need to:~) The material needs to be 100% cotton to work
Why can't you paint in your own house? I am not getting that. Is it because it's a rented house? If so, then don't paint. If you bought the house, paint the rooms however you feel like.
you use the girl room, and have him use yours
There's no reason, you can't repaint, before moving in.
I suggest a light blue of some kind, with dark blue stripes.
Perhaps white ceiling with glow in the dark decorations.
Well you didn't specify what color the walls actually are...but you can buy peel n stick wall decals and borders that are more boyish in theme. Maybe you can work the color into some kind of decorative scheme.
dont know why u wrote this in food but if u bought the house u can do whatever u want to it once it is yours if your renting ask them becuase they should understand its a boys room and if all else fails hang sheets on the wall (kinda like wallpaper)
Posters on the walls and models like airplanes, motorcycles, cars hanging from the ceiling or sitting around on furniture might help. How old is the boy? Is the ';boyish'; room to please him or you? It might help you get better recommendations if you post a little more detail.

Use screens around the room and add various different coloured accessories.
And this is in Cooking %26amp; Recipes - Why!?!?!
You don't say what colors the rooms currently are. If not pink, but more of a purple or something like that, then black accessories and pillows could blend. Or a lot of dark navy or dark green. You really should give us more info to try to help you.

What type and color of paint is best for the inside part of a crockery cabinet?
I have this wooden crockery cabinet made with teakwood grain pattern finish outside. Now i want to paint the inside part(plywood) which is visible from outside with glass showing in front of it. So in your kind opinion which color suits best there? And what kind of paint shall i use there??What type and color of paint is best for the inside part of a crockery cabinet?
I would paint it an off white..looks good with all woods, shows off everything well because it is neutral, and will match any wall colour around it. The off white will make it pop and your eye will be drawn to it because of the light colour and the darker wood..great showcase for your things.What type and color of paint is best for the inside part of a crockery cabinet?

I think ';anonymous'; (# 7046) in a high gloss latex might be a good choice.
You can take a photo of your house %26amp; upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:
http://www.roomvues.com/
You can get color suggestions %26amp; for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
I am a painter and would say definitely go with a neutral off white in the tones opposite color of the dishes, this will accent them. If they are green go in the red tones etc. But have you ever looked at some of the removable contact paper. It might be a great look for a background, some even have texture for something more interesting, easier to do and then you can change easily later if want. Good luck!
Use a latex paint in a satin gloss. What color are the objects you are putting in the cabinet? If they are basically blue...paint the inside (back only not sides) yellow, not too bright.

What color paint would look best with this type of bedding?
Be specific and post the link to the color of paint if possible. http://www.pbteen.com/gift/thm/thmblu/th鈥?/a> I dont want the yellow paint in it. Any other suggestions?What color paint would look best with this type of bedding?
On the same site there are many Benjamin Moore paint colors featured. There is also a ';Design Your Bedroom'; tab that allows you to choose the bedding you want and then try different colors on the walls to see how they look. There are many colors in their selection that would look good with this set, it all depends on what look you are going for. Here is what I found:
Lighter choices: Blue Allure or Decorators White or Shades Spring - these are very matchy
Deep Rich Colors: Chili Pepper or Graphite - dramatic
Medium Shades: Buxton Blue or Whipple Blue or Shaker Beige - these go well but are a little more creative.
Have fun!What color paint would look best with this type of bedding?

i would choose green because it is in the bedspread but less dominant than blue
