Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Nov 09, 2012 11:21 am Hi everyone, I've been reading this forum for awhile and decided to join. It's great. I'm needing help with deciding external house colors. 1950's weatherboard cottage. Have only had it for a year or so and really want to freshen, listen it up. Have tried a lot of sample pots and just can't decide. Want beige, or just lighter walls and white windows. Maybe antique white. Can't decide what to do with base boards. Really don't want them to be too dark as think it will be too much of feature and what to brighten it up. I'm stuck. Will post a photo when I work out how. Thanks Re: Please help 3Nov 09, 2012 5:30 pm Colours look much lighter on the exterior. I painted my fibro place with Hog Brostle and Hoog Bristle 1/4 on the trims and windows. It look off white. But on the inside I use Hog Bristle 1/4 on the walls. I couldn't believe how different it looks. http://s1249.beta.photobucket.com/user/ ... 5/library/ Re: Please help 4Nov 14, 2012 4:41 pm I wanted to share something on Photobucket with you!
