The previous homeowner did a horrible job of picking colors in my opinion, however the interior of my house was all shades of beige & brown.
The walls were all beige & there was wood furniture.
The rugs were all slightly bizarre brown blends. It took forever to rip everything up & repaint over the mess! Now I am doing pale whites, grays & reds! Outside of the house they landed on an yellow exterior with brown trim. The roof is a rusted yellow color. I actually don’t like it. I have been slowly fixing the exterior. The walls are now a dark gray with a moss colored trim. The last part is the roof. It seems dumb to replace a well laboring roof. It has been 15 years since it has been touched though, but for insurance purposes, a up-to-date roof is never a awful idea. The rusty yellow looks undoubtedly awful with my up-to-date exterior too. I also don’t think I want a shingle roof, however a metal one instead, but a metal roof lasts longer & is more durable, but shingles tend to fall off & have a lower life span. I am not afraid of the upfront cost either. So perhaps I can justify this purchase since I am investing in something that will live for years & years to come. Another possible con is that a metal roof is louder than a shingle one. I have asked around & talked to roofers. They have said that the sound isn’t that awful overall. It is louder, however not by much.
