Guess what! The porch is not pink anymore! Three coats of paint later all the pink is now white to match the rest of the house. I did decide to do the trim in a contrasting color to draw some attention to the windows. It’s a Behr color called Paramount. Its pretty much charcoal grey. You can see that I did paint the trim of the attic window to match but I have not had a chance to get to the living room windows beside the porch. I’m very happy with the color choice for now. In the future I still plan on removing all the aluminum siding and painting the wooden clapboards.
Here is a before picture of the porch:

Later this week I’ll have to paint the floor and ceiling, swap out the light fixture and replace the outdoor plug to a three prong outlet (something I am now an expert at), but I think that it looks great. Here is a look at the whole house:

Wow! It’s coming along very nicely!
Thanks Maury!
That looks sooo much better.
Looking really good!
Boy, that was pink, wasn’t it 🙂
I have seen people paint their porch ceilings blue, it’s some tradition some places. I’m not sure I’d pick blue, but an interesting contrasting color might be nice.
Yeah! I was thinking of painting it that blueish color. I guess its called Haint and its supposed to help deter insects because it looks like sky and the insects feel unprotected under it and I guess it is also a color of superstition from the south to deter evil epirts and ghosts… it would be interesting to have a color with such a rich history.
it looks fabulous. Our porch in Rochester used to have a blue ceiling. I didn’t know the history. Very cool.
