Paint Colors for Aluminum Sided 1901 Queen Ann

Alternate color scheme.
Scope of work:
- Exterior paint colors.
- Create faux frieze board.
Exterior paint colors were chosen by client. I tried to encourage more of a period paint color scheme however they have a barn and a few out-buildings that are bright white so they wanted to keep the white trim for a more cohesive look – at least for now. Not a good choice.
The homeowners are in the process of restoring this house. The entire house was covered in aluminum siding and has been removed in certain areas such as the turret and gables. Their ambitions paid off for as you can see they found some great surprises under the covering in the gables. Due to other priorities, they are planning to paint the house before all the aluminum siding is removed.
Look at the turret above the second floor windows. Under the built-in gutter is the frieze board which provides the appearance of a strong bold transition to the roof. This frieze board would normally continue around the house however it is covered with aluminum siding. I therefore painted the top portion of the aluminum siding the trim color to provide the look of a frieze board. This is an important feature on a house this size. Compare the difference.
Once all the aluminum siding is removed, I’m sure more detailing will be exposed that can be picked out in a future color scheme.
