    You did a wonderful job of picking out the paint colors!!! I am so glad our house is totally brick (and stone) so we don’t have to pick out any paint colors!!! Lol

    The house looks great! What is your opinion on a soft white trim with red brick?

    1. Christin | My Homier Home says:

      Thanks so much! I think soft white trim could look really good as long as it had a warm undertone. I would definitely do some testing first.

    Absolutely love the color with the red brick. Can you please share the color used on the trim and garage?

    1. Christin | My Homier Home says:

      Thanks so much Shawna! Absolutely! It’s Gauntlet Gray by Sherwin Williams 🙂

    What color did you use on the main part of the house? I saw the name of the color used for the trim and the garage. Thanks

    1. Christin | My Homier Home says:

      The main color of the siding is Sherwin Williams Dorian Gray! Let me know if you have any other questions 🙂

    Christin – GREAT JOB with the colors – your home looks fabulous! Question – if your garage doors were front facing vs side, do you think you would have still gone with the Gauntlet Gray or might you have possibly considered Iron Ore to tie-in with the shutters and front door? Thanks!

      Great question Kevin and thank you!! Honestly, I like to visually see it… sometimes dark garage doors can look out of place depending on the other colors of the home. When I drive around my neighborhood, I’m always critiquing 😂, but I think that could look good! Is your brick a darker red too?

      1. Kevin Lewis says:

        Hi Christin – thanks for your response! My brick is similar to yours in hue. I may give some of your colors a try when I finally undertake this painting project! 😉

    Thank you for sharing…you are spot on with the struggle with what to do with a great looking dark red brick. The trend is currently a lot of whites and grays however taking the mindset to commit to painting a great looking red brick to white is hard to digest because just not sure of the outcome. I took the risk of painting the brick on the fireplace brick on interior house white with the rest of house SW agreeable gray and was the best decision.
    I have been researching online and taking pics in neighborhoods of home looking at exterior color schemes and what you have done looks perfect.
    I have just one question which maybe I missed have missed in your specs and responses.
    The under eves, overhangs which include patios, did you paint SW Irone?

  7. You did a beautiful job! What color is the roof? I can’t quite tell. Thank you!

    1. Christin | My Homier Home says:

      Thank you!! We did charcoal gray!

    I love the color choices. What color were your windows? I would like to use these colors but my windows are dark brown and I am unsure how that will look.

    1. Christin | My Homier Home says:

      These are actually black windows we got when we replaced them, so not painted, but tricorn black is a popular color for trim too.

  9. Hi! I’m wondering if you painted your exterior window trim in Iron Ore? All of my window trim pieces are white, but I would love to have black or bronze trim…do people just paint over the white or do you have to buy new windows? I’m not a big fan of painting black on the exterior trim around the window, when all of the other white pieces are still visible. I hope that makes sense…I’m not real familiar with the terminology of window parts!
    Thank you and your house looks gorgeous!!

    1. Christin | My Homier Home says:

      We actually got new windows, so they aren’t painted, but I would definitely recommend it! It’s a gorgeous color.

    What do you do when your partner has completely different taste in decor than you, but you both want to feel comfortable and happy in your home?

  11. What is your opinion for these colors on a west facing home?

    1. Christin | My Homier Home says:

      Great question! So the back of our home actually faces west and that is where majority of our siding resides. I love the way it looks. It can be a bit gloomier when it’s raining, but I think it looks great!
