David Rudick < > Maison Rêve - Historic Exterior Color Palette Options Leah B Flippen To: David Rudick Hello Everyone, Chris Pisculli Wed, Mar 12 at 12:16 PM , Molly Parks In preparation for today's historic society walk-through, I've developed two elegant exterior color schemes for Maison Rêve using verified Sherwin Williams historic colors that would meet approval requirements for the grant. I've attached a visual reference of both palettes for your review. *Option 1: Victorian Jewel Harmony* - Main Body: Downing Slate SW 2819 - Trim/Porch Details: Classical White SW 2829 - Accent (Corbels/Window Sashes): Mulberry Silk SW 0001 - Front Door: Rockwood Red SW 2802 - Porch Ceiling: Queen Anne Lilac SW 0021 This combination creates a distinctive exterior that stands out while maintaining historical authenticity. The sophisticated Downing Slate provides a beautiful backdrop for the architectural details, while the Mulberry Silk creates an elegant transition between the slate and red elements. The vibrant Rockwood Red door serves as a jewelry-like focal point that hints at the interior jewel tones, and the Queen Anne Lilac ceiling adds a subtle connection to our interior color palette. *Option 2: Victorian Classic Drama* - Main Body: Downing Slate SW 2819 - Trim/Porch Details: Classical White SW 2829 - Accent (Corbels/Window Sashes): Rockwood Dark Red SW 2801 - Front Door: Rockwood Red SW 2802 - Porch Ceiling: Dutch Tile Blue SW 0031 This palette offers a more traditional approach with higher contrast between elements, creating a bold yet historically accurate exterior. The deep Rockwood Dark Red accents provide rich depth against the blue- gray slate, while the Dutch Tile Blue ceiling complements the main color beautifully. This combination honors Victorian color traditions while creating a memorable street presence. Both options would create a stunning exterior that reflects the sophistication of the interior design. I'm continuing to research historically appropriate front door options and will follow up with recommendations as soon as possible. I'm available to discuss these options during today's walk-through if you'd like to review them with the historic representative present. Best regards, Leah Leah B.
