I love some of the before and after shots.

All the best

I meant to say earlier that the covering of the dormer rafter with metal was a nice solution to that problem. I’ll bet no one notices from the ground that it’s anything out of the norm!

Thanks Adam and Mia.

Mia – we used the Affinty color palette from Benjamin Moore’s line of Aura paints (which seem to be wonderful paints so far – here’s hoping they last as long as Benjamin Moore’s marketing team would have us believe!)

The body color is Caponata. The trim color is Jicama. And the pumpkiny accent color is Firenze.

When we bought this house, previous owners had removed most of our original windows and replaced them with plate glass or aluminum sliders (it varied from room to room). We replaced the replacement windows with metal clad wood windows in a bronze finish. But we still have a handful of original wooden windows. We wanted them to blend in with the new ones, so we painted those with Bejamin Moore’s IronClad latex metal enamel paint in “Bronzetone” which was a really good match for the metal windows.

We’ve used that color a couple of other places as well – on the sidelights flanking the front door and on the porch roof beams.

Did you post somewhere what the final choices on your trim and accent colors were? I don’t find them tagged under bungalow paint colors. Anyway, I’m curious. I like your choices a lot. I know you went with caponata for the body color.
Post them all if you get a chance and sorry if they’re here somewhere and I didn’t find them. Thanks.
