Sleek + Smoky Townhouse

Nothing says, "chic city-slicker" quite like a townhouse sporting a few fresh coats of inky gray paint and pops of bright-white trim.

Twist on Traditional

Behold: the power of simple, white paint. Chip and Joanna made old new again with the helping hand of soft white paint, black shutters and modern light fixtures for this traditional home. Side note: We’re obsessed with all the warm, welcoming energy that the wooden door brings to the home’s crisp facade.

Easy on the Eyes

There’s something totally timeless about this sophisticated, soft white exterior. Paired with traditional brick pavers and lush landscaping, this home is as elegant as they come.

Modern Contrast

Swimming with a view, right? We’re infatuated with this modern design’s stark white brick, floor-to-ceiling windows and sleek black trim details.

Modern Midcentury Modern

Who new midcentury modern could feel so fresh, so new and so very now? Painted white brick, a cedar-framed window grouping and planter boxes give this home exterior a distinct look. The style is modern while maintaining an understated and comforting feel.

Green With Envy

We’re smitten as kittens with this glorious,green "after" from Chip and Jo. In one of their more ambitious exterior makeovers, the Gaines' dream team re-pitched the roofline of this home and dramatically enhanced the entry with a porch bump-out that features post-and-beam construction. The exterior is further dressed up with fresh green paint, contrasting black shutters and new stairs and railing.

Contemporary California Living

Lush native plants add softness and color to the facade of this contemporary California house. The design team painted the brick exterior white to unify the finishes, adding black trim for a preppy East Coast vibe.
