Not "Breaking the Bank"......

It’s impossible to have an elegant space with cheaply made furnishings, therefore, an elegant space needs some subtle glamour and quality materials.

Great setup! Those chairs are cool and classy.

Calm and quiet! I like this color scheme with the rug and table.

Older Homes

For some reason I enjoy looking a the older homes with their colors and styles.

I was looking at this link: http://www.historichousecolors.com/PrairieStylecolorsSachshome.html
and found this house that had been repainted.  It looks awesome.

This 1950s Prairie Style, with a little Modern Bi-Level added home, had a major architectural element to consider when selecting the color scheme,  The Winchester Granite with its distinctive color was a driving factor in the color selection process.  An additional factor was the fact that the house was painted Barn red and the owners wanted to tone down the scheme.  A warm gray was chosen for the body with the trim in a darker olive color.  Mahogany sash and a Retro light Maple accent color rounded out the scheme.

Garage doors can be problematic when dealing with house colors.  They often come off looking monolithic or just boring.  In this case I suggested the lighter panels to enliven the view from the street.

The side of the house offers the best opportunity to illustrate the effect the new colors have on integrating the stonework into the house color scheme.  I normally analyze between one and two dozen such factors before suggestions colors for a clients house.  This procedure makes the colors selection process much less cumbersome for the homeowner.
