Hi Milann,

My gut tells me that brick and cinder block are similar enough (i.e. porous materials) that they could be treated similarly. That said, I’d double check with your local paint store. I’d love to see a before and after!

Hi Rebecca,

I used Kendall Charcoal for the shutters and doors and White for the fascia. I do love the Revere Pewter! When we need to re-shingle our home, I may change the shutters/door to have a bit more brown in it.

Thanks for writing in!

Hugs, Lynn

Ooooh, I really like that combination and can’t wait to see the finished project. I think it will look especially crisp against your black roof and accents. Please send a picture when it is done!

I’m sorry for late reply. Our sweet pup died over the weekend and I’ve been without a computer…gave me plenty of time to sit and feel sorry for myself.

I think you will love the Revere Pewter. It really is a great color. I do like the Kendall Charcoal with it, but if I had to do it over again, I might consider something with a just a touch more brown in it. It looks like there is brown in it, but up it looks like it has more blue.

As far as door…ugh…I still am pondering that. My decorator friend really was pushing me to a green or blue, like Kennebunkport Green or Phillipsburg Blue. I just don’t know. Painting the door is something that would be easy to repaint, so I might get a wild hair and do it just to see. That being said, our roof will need to be replaced in the near future and I know I want to go a darker gray/black or dark brown/black. When I do that, it might change the shutters and the door.

Goodluck! I’d love to see your final project!

Lynn

Thanks Eliza! 😘
