Book an exterior paint consultation
Meet with emily
Together, we will assess your home’s architectural style, identify needs for your exterior paint job, and determine a color direction based on your personal preferences, your home’s harmony with your neighborhood, and, if desired, Feng Shui-based color theory.
Collaborate on a color palette
Exterior paint choices are seemingly limitless and can be completely overwhelming. During this step, we will identify three possible color palettes to test before you commit. [See examples of projects below]
Test and take next steps
We’ll chat about the best way to text a possible color palette for your home, what quality and finishes to choose, and what local paint companies I work with and trust.
Cozy Cottonwood, McMinnville
BEFORE: A Cottonwood home’s original paint scheme had become drab and dated and had lost harmony with the neighborhood through the addition of a gem-tone accent. The beige was too yellow for the addition of a Douglas Fir door.
AFTER: Fresh paint in an updated green gray palette rendered the home a new look and feel in harmony with the neighborhood, the existing rock features, and the landscape. Contrast with the new Douglas Fir door feels intentional instead of incongruous.
Fun and Family-Oriented, McMinnville
BEFORE: The exterior paint on a 20-year-old home had become drab and dingy over time. The beige was dated and had a yellow undertone the homeowner didn’t like. It also clashed with the existing rock feature. Here, the owner wanted something fresh and cheerful for the next stage of the family’s home life.
AFTER: A new beige with pink undertones chosen to harmonize with Oregon’s changing, seasonal skies pairs with a happy and on-trend sage green. A pop of color on the door, along with the home’s new hardware and a porch fence removal, creates a place the whole family can feel great returning to. [House number removed for privacy]
Bold and Beautiful, McMinnville
BEFORE: These homeowners longed for a fresh update and more attractive colors for their family home. The original trim from before had too much yellow in it for their taste, and the body color of the home was much too drab for a family involved in the arts. [House number removed for privacy]
AFTER: It takes a lot of courage to go dark with exterior paint, but these homeowners did it, with a blue/grey/green for the body, which plays well with the oak door, and with a light cream for the trim. An even darker blue/grey/green under the eaves serves as an accent. With these choices, their black spouts made more sense. All of it works great with the greens of the garden.
