So now that the shingles are all blue we move on to an accent color.<\/p>\n

I have an overall vision for the front of my house that will take me awhile to complete.\u00a0 This includes taking out the metal framed windows enclosing the porch (that are actually just storm windows) and replacing with wood framed screens and storm windows. \u00a0Until they are built, I am not allowed to do any kind of demo on the windows, per TB.\u00a0 So for now the best way to make the porch look a bit better and offer more\u00a0architecturalness (my new word), we started painting some details black.\u00a0 We used Sherwin Williams Tricorn Black in gloss.\u00a0 I should have gone maybe with a satin to match the white satin trim paint I had already bought, but I kind of forgot what I already bought until it was too late.\u00a0 Oh well, moving on.<\/p>\n

So before the porch posts were painted a hunter green but they appeared to float since everything else was painted white.\u00a0\u00a0 They didn’t look like they were holding anything up.\u00a0 So we painted the posts and the wood cross piece above in the black.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This gives the porch some definition and the house an accent color.<\/p>\n

We haven’t figured out where else the black will be an accent yet but we are also running out of warmth to paint in so we have some time to figure it out.\u00a0 Next we concentrate on the white trim which is a looooong process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
