Historic Color Projects

The sections below illustrate examples of completed projects within several historic time periods. While they do not represent every type or style of home or building, they do present graphic illustrations of what can be accomplished when historical colors and period paint placement theory are combined. Traditional Greek Revivals, Victorians, Arts & Crafts Bungalows and Post Modern contemporary homes all reveal their true architectural nature through the employment of this service. For a comprehensive list of styles and geographical areas, see the Client List.
