Choosing an Exterior Paint Color

Nearly three years after buying our brick home, we decided to paint the trim and windows. Only question is…how do we choose?

So crazy, I chose #4 as my initial favorite. Chose 1 as my favorite after looking at them during the day. After painting the two sides, I chose the brown one.

[@mbrooke9025]

So happy you chose the brown! That’s what I picked and was rooting for! I feel like it’s such a timeless color that you will never get tired of. I’m so excited to see it all finished! 🤎🤎

[@valeriej291]

Love this. I had my husband watch parts of it because he has lived this so many times with me picking out paint. 😂😂

[@autumnhamm9381]

Ohhh yay! I was rooting for brown! Either one is gorgeous, though I feel like the brown lends itself to the moody, modern, traditional vibe. I can’t wait to hear if you stuck with it once you saw it on the windows 🤎

[@christietitus193]

On your 1,2,3 I said brown with you!!

[@taylorgayhart9497]

So excited for this! Both two get to see what color you picked, and also to see more longform videos from y’all!

[@mamajoe1239]

I would leave it white .

[@tonylemoignan1991]

Dark brown/ black with red undertone would be gorgeous!
It would complement the interior classic black.

"Keep going, I want to hear your thoughts."
"....Do you...?"
So relatable, this is like every conversation husbands and wives have about designing their home
😂

Whenever the camera showed the house across the street with the red brick and white trim I couldn’t help wondering how many identical houses there were in your neighborhood! Kudos for doing something different. I loved watching the process.

[@AlexisKamille]

opening paint jars on your marble countertops is wilddddddd 😂

[@linnns7104]

They have more money than sense.

[@itsalessia]

I love this!!! More long form RUclips design content, please. 🤍 Can’t get enough of you guys.

[@GoodandDelicious]

I like the greens that lean really blue. It compliments the yellow mortar, gives depth and vibrance, won’t get lost with all the greens and will look great with Christmas decor.

[@NicolewithouttheH]

I need a makeup tutorial from Julia. So prettttttyyyy. 💕

[@ronnytuck8319]

Lol!

[@karenfahy7252]

So stoked for this! CLJ color reveal and TTPD release all in the same day!! Heaven 😍🖤🫶🏼

[@chrislovesjulia]

🤍🤍 white hearts for TTPD

Number 4 on the left is the best one I'd say.

[@patsygoddard2791]

WAIT WHAT??? That kitchen i love and have pinned on Pinterest is YOUR kitchen....❤❤❤. I love it even more

[@crystalassam433]

I love you home it’s beautiful and the interior is chefs kiss but the paint color for the trim looked beautiful classic white. I realize that just my opinion.

[@Bleigh1584]

I’m here for the RUclips videos!! Love the color you guys chose!

[@SP-fw1xe]

4 and 11 were my faves from the very start!!

[@TubnQT]

WHY are you painting the trim??? Leave it white just like the keystones above the windows, and paint the door.

[@modsquad3123]

I think darker, like a Boston carriage house for the trim, i get the idea i like it!

[@dttttt]

We painted SW Dorian Gray on exterior trim and windows 7 years ago. Over the years, the color has changed on the wood trim, porch columns AND windows to a pinkish color. But it has not changed on the garage doors. The color keeps changing toward more pink/mauve as the years go on and the difference is obvious now. I don't know why this happened. Keep an eye on the colors. Paint a big swatch and keep it indoors so over time, if you think your color is changing on the exterior, your eyes are not deceiving you.

[@BB-zg3mr]

"What are you staring at?" I laughed so hard 😂😂

[@brianna2991]

Not going to lie, we got black interior & exterior Windows. And I have been feeling like oh boy should I not have done black interior? It’s so bold. But now I feel good that you guys did black interior Too!!

[@bh7578]

I’m not sure wood windows in the South is the way to go because of weather and maintenance. Dark colors in the south fade too quick. Black trim and colors are trending out.

[@vickimaiorano5763]

Wouldn’t it have been easier to test with large swatches (or painting on board) and attach directly to the brick?. Much easier to just test two at a time. So many colours so overwhelming.

[@shaebrown9370]

Yep # 11 from the start!

[@mariammwiso]

Allow me to ask, the roller in your garage. What is the name exactly. I saw it in another video. Full house tour

[@kristyannhenry]

So exciting!

[@buythetruthanddonotsellit]

What color did you choose? Was it brown?

[@Revfar10]

Happy I don’t deal with an HOA !

[@MaryKantarek]

🎉🎉🎉

[@GoodandDelicious]

Moody only makes sense when you consider the decor inside.

[@angiewelch7665]

I like 11 also what is the name of #11

[@natasha1369]

[@user-xx5dg4ff2h]

[@cassandra2685]

[@egallagher3578]

Brown. Spared you from watching this dull video.

[@fc4660]

Rude

[@heidim6468]

Hate HOA they are the worst.. So sorry you have one.

[@bh7578]

You definitely need HOAs in some areas or it’s just a mess.

[@coreimiko710]

So fake
