We are working on painting the exterior of our house right now. We've gotten the entire house sprayed, now we are just working on the trim. That's going to take a while to get done, but hopefully by the end of July. Anyway, I want to update the hardware outside as well. All the light fixtures and door knobs are 90's gold (the house was built in 1992.) Not sure on the color of the light fixtures. I'm thinking either black or brass.

The trim will be the white color:

So what do you think black of brass fixtures?

ETA: Also the front door is going to be red, DH wanted our house to look like Christmas. Lol!

I love y'alls house!! The color you've picked is great. I think either would look good, but I vote brass.

I cant see the picture!

minionlover · July 2014

I can't see it either.

goatlady12 · July 2014

I just fixed it let me know if you can't see it now.

ooohhh brass would look awesome!!

ramstein1027 · July 2014

Copper would look awesome too, esp with that green color (but I'm partial to copper anyhow)

Personally, I'm not a fan of brass/gold metallics. I don't think silver/pewter would show up against the house color, so I'd go with black.

I'm going to vote for WHITE! I think white exterior lights would look really nice against the white trim.

My second choice is black.

Love the colors! I vote copper, bronze or black. I'm not a fan of brass at all.

By brass I actually meant more of a dark bronze. I usually lean towards dark colors.

minionlover · July 2014

I like the idea of brass/bronze but it must be brushed not shiny.

That's what I was figuring you meant when I voted brass. Not shiny bright gold!

I'm a sucker for brass. So that's where my vote would go.

I'd go with copper, like Evan suggested. If that's not your style, then I'd do bronze, then black. White would also look nice.

I knew we would say the same thing!
