To paint or not to paint. That is the question.

And when it comes to brick, it’s a difficult question to answer. The joy of brick is in the material itself. Hard-wearing and low-maintenance, brick doesn’t require a lot of effort to maintain but makes a definite statement. So why ruin it all by applying paint that will need to be reapplied every few years or so?

Natural Wood and Paint Together

Here’s a good looking use of color on this cupboard. Try painting the majority of the piece with your favorite color and leaving part of the piece a natural color – of course, using Briwax on that natural part.

In Olde Century Colors paints, we have some beautiful blues – Cupboard Blue, Yankee Blue Salt Box Blue, Saratoga Blue, and Settlers Blue.

Use Light Brown Briwax, Tudor Brown Briwax or Rustic Pine Briwax over the entire piece to give the unpainted wood its color as well as to “soften” or age the paint.

Is a Black Front Door For You?

Everything Goes with Black

Everything does go with black, but does a black front door make you a little nervous? And just when should you paint your door black?

Black can make a front door elegant and dramatic. It works well with any and every other color, making it extremely versatile. It can also toss a challenge your way. If you don’t have enough contrasting colors as a backdrop, black can hide the entry or make it feel too dark — not very good for your home’s curb appeal.

Remember that Olde Century Colors paints are also perfect for exterior use. We feature a black paint in Acrylic Latex – Lamp Black and also a black paint in Simulated Milk paint – Carriage Black – both are perfect for fabulous front doors.
