The intricate details and vibrant colors capture the essence of this architectural style flawlessly. As an admirer of both art and architecture, I find myself drawn to pieces that skillfully showcase the beauty of historical structures. Moreover, it's fascinating to see how <a href="https://australianpainting.com.au/painters-new-south-wales-nsw-sydney" rel="nofollow">painters Sydney</a>, with their unique perspective and talent, can bring such scenes to life on canvas. This painting serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Italianate architecture and the skill of artists who continue to celebrate its charm through their work.<br /><br /><br />josepkuruvillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731205477383023643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2519589841533506282.post-64889547103483513642017-12-27T10:47:57.647-08:002017-12-27T10:47:57.647-08:00I tried include an outside picture of the house, b...I tried include an outside picture of the house, but wasnt able to paste it in. I will try to email it to you. Based on Downing's idea of taking colors from the landscape and building materials, we used his stone for a base and slate for the trim, as those colors were found in our field stone foundation.

We live in Janesville Wi and have quite a few Italinate homes in town if you look up the William Tallman Or Lincoln-Tallman house here in Janesville, you can see a great example of the color scheme that we see around here on most of the Italianate homes in Janesville and the nearby surrounding areas.

Congratulations (and tho...What an impressive house! Congratulations (and those are some copious brackets!). It is indeed very white, but there are many solutions. If you would really like to find out the original colors, you can have a paint test done on part of the facade that will tell you what the original colors might have been. Check for sure if the lintels over the windows are stone. If they are, strip them and see what kind of stone and then paint the trim according to the color of the stone, if they are stone. It looks like it was built in the 1860s and that the body is brick. If you look through the many houses on this blog, which I recommend so you have a lot of options, people who want to have unpainted red brick frequently go for a few possibilities, brown, white, tan, or green trim. Personally, I like the brown trim unpainted brick look, if you are going to have the warm terra cotta of the bricks. If you would like to go with painted brick, I would choose a subtle color, pale yellow, grey, tan, or even pink for the body and then I would pick a strong trim color like brown, dark green, or a dark grey. Then, you can have fun picking the third trim accent color, like yellow, cream, red. The ironwork should definitely be green or black. I would really recommend getting the book I cite above. There are a lot of examples out there, so happy hunting and let me know how it turns out or if you have any more questions!JDFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927952898713409916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2519589841533506282.post-73005337208069943582015-03-23T18:03:24.981-07:002015-03-23T18:03:24.981-07:00Help!

We have already repainted it white once and agree with this discussion that it is too stark and does not blend into anything in the landscape. If anyone would like to give us advice the house has a wiki page, Governor James Taylor Lewis house. The house has been white for about 100 years, before that dirty creamy brown brick. We have also never seen brackets as large as this house. It makes the house look "top heavy". Any advice would be very much appreciated!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999422906044291071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2519589841533506282.post-76384895277505217462014-01-20T07:29:14.312-08:002014-01-20T07:29:14.312-08:00One must certainly be careful when restoring the o...One must certainly be careful when restoring the original colors of a vintage Italian home. It would be best to maintain its classic look, though it may require a bit of ingenuity, or at the very least a bit of research to replicate the original colors. It may sound daunting, but restoring it to its former glory is a reward in itself.<br /><br />WillieWillie Fleminghttps://plus.google.com/103839814522643083763/about?hl=ennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2519589841533506282.post-14567207271646397082013-08-05T21:06:55.317-07:002013-08-05T21:06:55.317-07:00Great.
