Black Mid-Century Modern House Reveal
It’s taken a while (like 4 years) to share the official reveal of our Project Sunset Lake Boulevard exterior….but it takes awhile to share everything, so better late than never.
“Before”
This house was a pretty boring ranch house but had some good mid-century lines to work with. We knew from the very beginning we were going to paint the house black. A contractor suggest a dark grey instead of black, and my response was “gray is for pussies”.
“After”
Just kidding. That wasn’t my response, but I wanted it to be. I’ve just been very, very, very, over the 50 shades of gray that has taken over the world since the late 2000’s.
So here are the deets!
Siding: Cement Hardie Board siding on left and cedar lap siding on right
Siding Paint Color
Cement Siding (left side of house) is painted Sherwin Williams Black Magic in Satin
Cedar lap siding (right side by garage) is painted Sherwin Williams Black Magic in Flat
Front Door Paint Color
Snow Cone Green by Benjamin Moore
Garage Door/Cedar Siding
Tongue and groove clear cedar with Cabot stain in Natural
Windows: From Sierra Pacific (not sure how much I would recommend them though)
Address Numbers from Etsy
Door Mat from Target.
The most common question we get asked about this project is the garage door. The garage door is just a standard metal garage door with tongue and groove cedar panels glued to to each panel of the door.
While it wasn’t the cheapest garage door, it wasn’t too crazy to get this look. I believe we paid about $2k for the clear cedar that went on the door (plus the cost of the door).
