Harmonizing green tones make an exterior warm and welcoming.
Corrine moved into her home with visions of something more fresh and tranquil. The roof needed replacing along with some cedar boards, so it was the perfect time to update the old colour palette. She chose a light and dark colour from the same colour family for the siding and shutters and drew focus away from the architectural details by adding a solid colour break at the roofline. A warm, inviting coat of white was just the thing to bring attention to the porch and front door.

Corrine updated her homes exterior palette from heavy colours reminiscent of a forgotten farmhouse to the fresh, gentle shades of a cozy cottage on Martha’s Vineyard. The green tones of the siding harmonize with the landscape and transition with the changing seasons. The white rail of the wraparound porch invites visitors to sit back and enjoy the intrinsically tranquil surroundings. The garden inspired colour palette creates the perfect setting for summer entertaining.
