Perfectly Painted House: A Foolproof Guide for Choosing Exterior Colors for Your Home

Rating:
Summary: I love it!
Review: This book is really practical, not just some decorator's book with million dollar homes inside. It is a book I can USE about how to choose the colors for the outside of my house. I am looking at spending a lot of money on painting my house, so I wanted to be sure to pick the right colors... This book is just what I wanted. The photos are gorgeous and I can see how colors will actually look on my house. It even has the paint color numbers and suggestions for window, door and shutter colors. I just love it. The problem is, all of the colors in the photos are so beautiful, its hard to choose between them! The "yellow" chapter and the "neutrals" chapter are my favorites. Now I am excited about painting in the spring, instead of being worried. If you are going to paint your house, buy this book.

Summary: BEST EXTERIOR COLOR BOOK
Review: This is a great book for anyone serious about choosing paint colors for their house with professional results. A wide range of house styles and color combinations are presented. The book starts out with a brief step by step for choosing exterior paint color. It provides instructions for actually painting the house yourself. This is followed with page after page of gorgeous photos of painted houses, and it includes the paint color used for each house. There are very few resources available on the subject of choosing color for the exterior of the house. The book is truly the best I've seen.

Summary: American in Tokyo Returning to the US
Review: We have been living in Japan for the past 3 years, but are about to move back to our house in the states. We plan to do some major redecorating once we return. We also want to paint the outside of our house a different color. Right now it is off-white. I have the book, The Perfect Palette, which I used to choose all the interior colors for my rooms three years ago. I emailed the author asking her to consider publishing a book for exterior paint colors. And here it is! I was so excited to find it on Amazon. The book couldn't be nicer. It has large, beautiful photographs of houses that are divided into color chapters. So, if you want a yellow house, you turn to the yellow chapter and flip through page after page of gorgeous yellow houses, all painted in different shades of yellow. And, you get the actual paint number and the brand of paint that was used on every single house in the book. I couldn't believe it. This sure is going to make my job easy and enjoyable. This book gives you everything you could possibly ask for in an exterior paint color guide. It's fantastic!
