How would you paint this mini barn?

Miriam Illions on Jun 29, 2012Your colors sound lovely, although it is hard to say for sure without seeing it. What's surrounding the barn? Also, there are some lovely barn/shed photos on Hometalk that may inspire you. Here's a link to a general shed search: http://www.hometalk.com/search?filter=shed&search=photosHelpful Reply

Jan C on Jun 29, 2012I'd do it to match the colors of your house. Whatever your house color is, the base - with the shutter color as the trim where the pic is white. If brick house, then the colors you want sound pretty. It's a matter of preference, and if you are gonna plant anything around it, what would make the plantings pop should be considered too.Helpful Reply

Jeanette S on Jun 30, 2012Considering that this is a working barn and nestled under trees, the moss green might be the best choice. However, if you plan to keep it washed down from scrunge that gets on things outside, a seafoam with white trim would be very pretty. The best things to do is coordinate it with your house colors.Helpful Reply

Pamela Phillips on Mar 12, 2015Make sure you use the right paint.. Acrylic paint... and you can use a roller or spray paint... Just be careful you don't get paint on the drip edge or on the shingles.. The metal trip on the corners can be painted or the local shed place can sell you the metal trimHelpful Reply
