Building a house can be stressful, but it is also amazing to see something that you envision turn into a reality. Our future home has had a lot of inspiration go into its design. Perhaps my favorite are these painted exteriors that influenced the plan for our future home.

Painted Exteriors that Inspired My House

Isn’t this little cottage so charming? I love all of the windows along the front, and especially the big pillars on the porch.

This one didn’t include a source, but I love the white paired with the black accents of the shutters. And what a huge porch! Plus, that terrace above could have some really great potential.

The wood accents and fun lines of this roof make this home so warm and inviting. I couldn’t find a source anywhere, but it gives a French chateau vibe that I love.  I am also loving browns with a cream home.  It really warms up the home and creates the cottage feel I am going for!

This painted brick is absolutely stunning. And check out the arches in the front windows and door frame. It is so beautiful.

I am loving the archways on this house that give it such a fun style. And I just might be drooling over those barn doors.

Wrap around porches are some of my favorite designs, just like this one. It provides a huge additional living space, and if you spend a lot of time outdoors then that is ideal for socializing with visitors and family.

I really love the brick detail flooring and large wooden doors on this house. It feels so spacious and inviting.

Garage doors can be such fun design elements too. This one from The Creativity Exchange really caught my eye!

This modern farmhouse with strong lines and black accents is so fun. I love the floor to ceiling windows that really give it a modern, unique design.

Aren’t these painted exteriors gorgeous? I’m excited to see ours when it is finished!
