Testing two tone wood stains.. Loving the blue!!

Before / after Pearl white + versatile grey

Grey is still one of my fav colour... simple and efficient.

View from the kitchen I painted this week!!

Blue can be really nice if used properly but it is quite difficult to find the right tone.. I personally really like this one

Here is a nice outdoor rustic yet modern colour chart.

Another awesome tip!! This one on exterior paints or stains..

Friendly reminder: now is a good time to consider applying protective coating on exterior wood.. If wait till it's too warm outside the paint or stain will cook on top of the wood vs dry properly.. Also stains are available in solid colours so you can get creative with colours :)

To everyone thinking about exterior paint, it is still too cold outside for any type of paint to stick and dry properly.. it is recommended to apply exterior paint when it's 10-12 degree's outside and no colder then 5 degree's during night.. well worth the wait.. with the right product and right conditions you can make an old fence or any old wood boards look like brand new composite boards (the expensive stuff) The finish of the paint I use actually looks nicer then brand new composite boards and is also softer to touch... Here is an old post I painted 2 summers ago.. Im actually very impressed haha

Work in progress ... Will this project be done for Xmas !! Oh yes!

Looks beautiful :)
