a fresh coat of paint

A client of ours was interested in updating the exterior
colors of their home.  Their first thought was to go with something gray with a darker gray trim, sort of similar to their existing colors (tone on tone). 
We loved the idea of a dark gray base but challenged them to go outside their comfort zone and consider using a white/off white trim for a better contrast and more updated look. 
 
It took some convincing and a few rounds of paint samples, but in the end I think they were more than pleased!  We've been told they've had multiple neighbors comment again and again on how amazing their house looks.
 
They ended up going with a dark gray exterior paint, a light trim, a black roof, and a black front door.  Doesn't it look amazing? 
 
We'll have to go back this spring and get a full front elevation photo for a better side by side comparison.

Finished and fabulous.
A beautiful dark gray!!
