exterior: stain and paint combination?


Boden

Recommended Posts

Hello! I am about to start on the Orchid. I'm considering staining all the casing, door, trim and double hung sashes the same dark brown. Then I would pain the exterior walls a light-ish blue.  Would the combination of paint and wood stain look weird? I've never assembled a Greenleaf before. (I had a log cabin Greenleaf as a kid.)

Test the stain and paint together on scrap wood.  If you like it, go with it.  "Weird" is a very subjective term that shouldn't apply to YOUR creations; if YOU like what you create, let others think what they will.
