RED BRICK HOUSE WITH BLACK ROOF HOW TO

I think that this ivory looks much classic and warm. First up, we swapped the bright white for a soft ivory. This is more so to get an idea of which color I might want the trim to be, and then I will try to color-match it with a paint deck.

She has a whole tutorial here if you’re interested in learning how to do it. One of the most useful things you can do before committing to any paint color is to digitally try it on! There are probably some paint apps that allow you to do this, but Andi usually just opens up Lightroom to tweak the colors. We went to look at window options and they had an array of colors to choose from, so we thought–let’s go down that road and explore. The good news is, we had a few pros come and look at the windows and they said we could get away with just replacing the sashes (the window part and grid) instead of the entire window which would save us 10s of thousands of dollars.

On our 2023 project list, we talked about possibly replacing all of the windows this year, and I think it’s a go! It’s going to take some time to order the windows and have them made, but we’re starting down that path. And SO… I recruited my talented sister Andi to “try on” some exterior paint colors that pair well with red brick! We DO NOT WANT TO PAINT THE BRICK, but it might be fun to update the white trim and window sashes. We’ve made no changes to the exterior of the house, and I find the red brick to be incredibly attractive and timeless. We’ve been making some improvements to the overall curb appeal of our exterior, and so naturally, I’ve been looking more and more at our bright white trim and wondering if we could do better.
