After 10 years our house paint was faded and chipping. We were ready for a change. We tried gray samples but it wasn't the change we were looking for.
We were inspired by Pinterest and knew that we wanted to have a modern white house
Finding the perfect white was not easy. We settled on James Hardie Arctic White. Sherwin Williams color-matched it for us.
We added black shutters based on the image we loved from Pinterest.
Pinterest is great for generating ideas but the structural composition of your home will determine if the idea works on your specific home. In our case, the shutters gave our home a traditional colonial feel.
We didn't want a colonial house so we painted the shutters the same color as the house. We replaced the front door so it would stand out under the covered porch.
