Before and After pics of Exterior Painting- PIP
I love how it turned out! It's hard to believe these pictures were taken just a few weeks apart, gotta love spring time in Georgia 
After
And the back Before
And After
After trying out about 50 different color samples I ended up using the colors from my inspiration house, Darby's exterior pics from Fly Through Our Window. Main color is BM Clarksville Grey, Trim is BM Texas Leather and the shutters/doors are BM Texas Leather plus black. And let me tell you, it was the dumbest freaking nightmare getting that dark color. But I am so happy I stuck to my guns and found someone to work with me to get the shade I was looking for.
I'm no photographer and the colors are hard to catch true to life because it looks different depending on how the sun is shining but here it is up close.
Oh, and we went ahead and left the soffit and fascia unpainted. It's vinyl in Adobe Cream. We just had to have most of it replaced before we knew we were going to have the house painted and I decided to save on money, time and maintenance by leaving the vinyl as is.

I LOVE the new earth tones! Great choices!
Did you paint the brick? It looks like you did in the B&A of the front, but the brick looks the same in the B&A of the back. Is the back an addition maybe?

No, we didn't paint the brick but I tried to find a paint that would kind of blend with the brick and look a little more monochromatic. It's crazy how the direction of the sun changes all of the colors! (crazy as in nearly drove me crazy)
Well, you did a great job finding that color. And Texas Leather is one of my favorites that I've always wanted a place to use.
