Painted Ceilings With Beams

 

One of the things I am most excited about in our new house is the den which has a great fireplace and beams in the ceiling.  Right now the room is white - walls, ceiling, woodwork and beams.

This picture is from MLS.  We have our inspection tomorrow so I hope to get lots and lots of "before" pictures of the house.

I found these pictures online which are exactly the color I think I am painting the room.  A soft pale gray.

What I would love to do is paint the ceiling a few shades lighter than the wall in the same color.  I am so excited about all the fun things we can do with this house!  I know we won't be able to do it all at once but still fun to dream!

 

Hope you are having a good day!

Brick Exterior Color Scheme Ideas

Brick homes with dark roofs are easy to me...meaning dark shutters and then a fun accent door in almost any color you want.  I see them all over town and they look great!  But when you have a house like the one we are buying (everything worked out with our buyer so we are moving forward on our new house!  Praying nothing major comes up in the inspection!) it leaves you with a bit of a condundrum.

Our house has an orange toned brick and a very light brown roof.  I am not wild about the white shutters at all so I have been thinking about what to do.

The first idea I came up with isvery dark blue shutters and a red door.

I also paired the same shutters with a gold door.  This was from advice from the Behr website.

I also paired the yellow door with dark green shutters.  I don't like this as much in the picture but I think it is because I didn't go dark enough with the green.

I am going to take lots more pictures of the house at our inspection next week.  What color scheme do you lean towards?
