My house is the basic rectangular ranch house, shed roofed porch on front, gable roofed carport on back. It sits on the top of a limestone ridge south of Dallas/ Ft. Worth metromess. The porch and carport posts are native cedar posts stripped of the bark and weathered grey.
Currently it is a yellowish color, red doors and shutters, and a kind of turqurise on the trim areas. I had been thinking of just painting it white, with black doors and shutters. Son and his gf were up this weekend and we went in a redone restaurant and the walls were tan with black trim, very striking. She suggested I use those colors on my house.
Ideas on tan house, black doors and shutters, and white trim? I get lots of sun and don't want a dark color on the house, ANY color will fade quickly. I also admit to being colorblind.
The landscaping is mostly pricly pear, LIVE oak, and dry country plants like kidney wood, texas sage, etc. Drive way is limestone cause the grass wore out where the tires travel. Lots of limestone dust in the summer time.
