I don’t know if they were part of the renovation and it’s not a big deal if they stay. This is some sort of stylized Corinthian capital and doesn’t feel in keeping with the rest of the home which is quite classic. ]Ī few other things, if I may, on my wish list would be to change the columns to square with a simple capital. If this were my home, I would DEFINITELY paint it. However, they could also keep the doors and the trim white, as well. One possibility is painting the garage all one color like Benjamin Moore Anchor Gray, a beautiful classic charcoal gray. So, let’s first take a look at MJs gorgeous home and property.Ī tool shed? And, maybe the garage further back. Of course, I have my own opinions on the matter. Instead, if you have some suggestions for painting the trim and out buildings, AND keeping the red brick as is, that would be awesome. I would prefer if you save comments for Part II until that post comes out. Nor, is it always advisable to use paint. Painting is one method, but it is not the only one. Part II, I would like to discuss specific techniques for changing the color of the brick. The colors that go with stained wood trim inside also look good with red brick. In Part I, we will address the best paint colors to go with red brick. Alas, I am going to listen to my inner mother and break it up in two parts. Oh, I had such huge ambitions for this post. Hi Everyone and thank you for sending in this request MJ! I can send you a picture if you’d like, but either way please consider doing another exterior paint post with houses that are red brick, pretty please!! Or, specifically the best paint colors to go with red brick

We live on 40 acres and we also have a lot of white horse fence in front of and around the house, so I feel like that should also be factored into our decision. If we keep the brick as is, at the very least we must do the trim, shutters, and three outbuildings/ garages that are near the house.

My husband isn’t so keen on it, because what if we hate it? One issue is that I don’t know if we should even consider painting exterior brick, or just the trim. I don’t mean to yell, it’s just that I see so many examples of exterior paint ideas where either there is no brick, or the brick is painted.

I wonder if you could do a post on exterior colors for RED BRICK homes. We have a red brick ranch home that we have been renovating on the inside for the last 20 years and thanks to you, we have done a great job!
