Jayme Hobbs Do you want to restain the house or just change shutters? What color are the shingles?

Tarrah Pifer Harman Want to change shutters and deck. Trying to keep it cheap but the shingles are a brown.

LizaJane How about a blue? Blue and brown look great together.

Jayme Hobbs I like Ben Moore's Night Train..or Summer Night..(pic of house) Wanted to show the blue next to some brown, like on the house..as your shingles are brown.

AMN Might be nice to paint the door too. At a later date, consider putting some sort of attractive cover over the doorway and the window to the left - a porch or portico.
I love the Night Train color Jayme posted.

Tarrah Pifer Harman Love the night train color too!!!! This was my husbands bachelor pad now that we are newly married I have a lot of work to do!

judyg Were your cute cottage mine, I would have no shutters and everything white with grey stained decking. And a soft charcoal grey front door.

Jayme Hobbs To clarify, I would not do the deck blue.

AMN Jayme - That's a good point.

I recommend painting the deck to match the body of the house as close as possible.

Jayme Hobbs Me too AMN!
