    I'm gonna go with Kayvan and your daughter. The gray is actually beautiful. Sage green or an olive green would absolutely pop. Whichever you choose, it's going to be beautiful.

      You could do sage green walls with white or soft lemon trim. Oh, and leave the stone walls the natural stone. Just doing accent walls of color.

      I was thinking, "what is the complementary color of light gray? That may be a good choice."
      It turns out that the complementary color of light gray is dark gray.

  • @RobertBobForsyth
    @RobertBobForsyth День назад +15

    Please do not paint the window /door sills. Coat them with water shedding solution, this will preserve the patina and surfaces, by all means. The woodwork, window frames and rendered walls should be your choice, you have to live in them (although cream woodwork/ window frames and sage green render will make it fit into the landscape in a restrained and understated way). I am not a computer whiz but taking images of the elevations and manipulating colours will give you an good guide. Keep up the good work.

  • @robine916
    @robine916 День назад +15

    I would recommend not painting the windowsills white as they will get dingy over time, being a more horizontal surface. The sage green sounds lovely, and white or some variation of it in other areas would be a nice contrast.💚💚💚

    @caroles9547 День назад +10

    Taking your cue from the large coloured stones of the home's exterior (where the grey pipe is mounted) will be the most complimentary. The soft, sage green and/or the copperish tones would enhance the stone work and is sympathetic with the landscape. I'm very much enjoying your show!

    @ginacrusco234 День назад +3

    I'm off sage green. Looking above the right side of Cory's head, towards the double pipe, I see some beautiful burnt sienna tones in the stone. It could go toward brown to give you earthy and natural, or toward terracotta orange for a more vibrant look.

  • @lauriea.langlois3035
    @lauriea.langlois3035 День назад +4

    Oh how I can sympathize with you over days of dealing with the noise! For over a year during the Covid pandemic we had a neighbor directly across the street that created chainsaw sculptures 😵‍💫 some days he'd be out there carving wood from sunup until 10 pm with a head lamp on. It was horrendous! There's just no escaping that kind of monotonous noise, then even after the noise stops it's so imprinted on your brain it's like you can still hear it. Now that it's over and done for you it looks like it was well worth it, it all looks amazing! Good luck planting your garlic and choosing colors ❤

    @ruththomas6361 День назад +2

    If you'll note, the stones are not just gray. There are also shades of brown, which blends into the countryside without being so somber as plain gray. I would find a nice shade of "brown." There are so many to choose from, many of which are right there in the stones, the earth, and the trees. You may find two shades: one for the wall and one for the trim. I also like the idea of the "sage" green or possibly "olive" just for a little contrast.

    A green similar to F&B’s Card Room Green for the large areas and a gorgeous iron black for the accents like your window sills, facia boards under your gutters, and rooflines would look so handsome and clean as well as coordinate with the surrounding landscape.

  • @ciaobella8963
    @ciaobella8963 14 часов назад

    I live in Italy and many Italians (not all haha) are masters of color for their houses. My favorite color combination with the ancient grey stone houses that have one or more externally cemented walls, is the lightest of pinks (yes, pink, please don't cry) baby pink, very very light pink, with white trim and a front door in a dark color of your choice. Dark wine red perhaps? The light pink/grey stone/white trim combination with the green hills surrounding and multi-colored garden flowers would look great in my opinion. When I see a house like that here, it always impresses in a subtle, sweet and tasteful way. Whatever you decide, only choose a color that makes you happy. 😉👍

    @yvonnemcgraw6652 День назад +1

    You make me smile and chuckle. Well, if you needed sand for your garden, you sure got some now. Chuckle. Color: While I was thinking of what color to paint our home years back, I recognized something very important. While driving around, what was it about some homes that I would say wow about. They had not just two colors but three. You obviously have gray, and you said probably white, and implied you could color it? I would suggest maybe not so stark a white, or pure white, but maybe a softer white would be my choice. I do love the sage green as a third color. It is always a pleasing color. It also is a calming, healing and natural color. It will go with anything you put inside due to it being like nature. It would not be a harsh contrast color like pink or turquoise is. You could take a black and white picture of your home and then color it to see what you like. Or use the color samples cut out to fit the gable end. There are sage green colors that have a grayish undertone to them as well, meaning they would look great next to all those gray colors. You could also pick a darker shade of sage to use as the front door to define it. Sage is a timeless color and will contrast with Any flower colors you plant next to it. Personally, I wouldn't pick a blueish or yellowish undertone sage. Watch out for those undertones, they show up big time when you paint big surfaces, but not in the little chip sample as easily. Well, that's my vote. I'm so excited for you and can't wait to see what you do. Thanks for making my day brighter.

    Hola from Spain. Well I'm with Kayvan, i think Grey, and sage window sills etc. Our house in Spain is a very pale grey with a accents of green, and as we are in the mountsins it just blends rather than standing out. Also it stands up to wear & tear better than white which we have found over the years. Have a good week & hope it rains heavily for you ❤

    @nancykinsinger974 День назад +1

    There's so many shades of every color! And the meanings of colors are very interesting as well. Sage green is very pretty. It has gray undertones. A laurel green would have a little more pop but still be muted. You are getting to the fun part! Also, in defense of pink... most any color ( in my opinion) is better if it's subtle. And a quiet shade of pink can add a bit of whimsy and a happy feeling in small amounts. Anyway,no matter what the rest of us say...please go with what you like. I think you have good taste.

  • @jennywalsh2100
    @jennywalsh2100 День назад +2

    Team Kayvan. light grey, looks more indigenous to the surroundings, and the original stone. Making the cottage look much more traditional. Putting pops of colour should be kept for the doors, and guttering wood, not the actual masonry . It can always be rethought at a later date.
    Your daughter’s idea, for the sage/ mizzle green, would look good for the window frames. I believe you can get them sprayed. x

    Cheers guys, it's looking well.
    I think a cream / ivory is nicer than white for the window sills. I did mine that colour and it looks amazingly clean, especially in drab weather compared to my neighbours white window sills which looks dirty in comparison.
    I think your beautiful is correct with the sage green or a mustard / sunburst colour!???
    Can't wait to see the interior once you start, it will be ever sooooo exciting, and I can't wait.

    Barbara here in San Antonio Texas! Now things are getting exciting for you…. What an amazing transformation after the sanding. I immediately went to Pinterest and typed in ‘Paint colors for exterior stone cottages’ and bingo…. Some beautiful ideas. Of course green is very popular right now, and perfect to blend in with your surroundings. Pale, pale green for the stone, and a darker (but still quite light for the trim and windows). As you’ll probably be repainting every 7 years or so, you really can’t make a mistake.
