The Job
This one got paint outside and in. The outside went dark gray with white windows and trim. The inside went one light neutral on the walls, with white ceilings.
The oak trim, doors, built-ins and kitchen cabinets stayed stained. That made the wall color the main decision, because it sits right next to a lot of wood in every room.
What We Did
- The outside of the house
- Walls throughout
- Ceilings throughout
The Front of the House
Dark gray on the upper siding, with the windows and trim in bright white so they stand out. The contrast does most of the work here. It reads clean from the street, even with the big trees shading the house.
The Back of the House
We carried the same gray around the back, so no side of the house looks like an afterthought. White goes around every window and door on this side too.
The Family Room
A brick fireplace and oak built-ins take up a whole wall in this room, so we kept the paint simple. Light walls and a white ceiling let the wood and brick be what you notice.
The Kitchen
The oak cabinets stayed as they were. We painted the walls and ceiling around them, and cut the paint in along the cabinet edges and window trim. With this much wood in one room, the light wall color keeps it from getting heavy.
The Living and Dining Rooms
Same color through both rooms, so the main floor reads as one space. Stained window trim is the only contrast, and it looks sharp against a light wall.
The Bedrooms
The bedrooms got the same walls and white ceilings. Each one has stained oak around the windows and doors, so the lines where the paint meets the wood matter. You can see those lines in every photo.
The Bathrooms and Laundry
Smaller rooms got the same treatment: light walls and a clean ceiling. A small room has a lot of edges for its size, around mirrors, windows and door frames.
