Victorian Townhouse, Exterior Paint Color Consultation
The clients indicated the existing colors were too heavy, "not them", and not "Capitol Hill". To carry the stone color of the first floor all the way up, that same color in paint was used for the second floor box bay window, and for the eyebrow arch above the third story window, as well as inside the carving above the third story window. With the rakeboards just below the roofline also lightened up, the stone color was use on the small raised accent "x" to the right side at the roofline. The carving on the box bay was detailed in only one color this time, the same white which was used for the window frames and door frame, creating an effect similar to white wrought iron. There are many wrought iron details on Capitol Hill in Washington DC. The meter box on the first floor was painted to blend into the stone, important when it was so close to the front door. The front door was painted a deeper blue that the upper stories. Lastly the wrought iron railings were also de-rusted and repainted. All work was expertly done by Tech Painting.
