Working out a new exterior color scheme can be overwhelming -- it’s bright out there! So, I’ve devised a dual-purpose alternative to slathering color test patches all over the north facade or sticking paint chips into every crevice on the exterior of your house. Call it a color study if you like, or a miniature painted house if that makes you feel good -- the birds call my miniature color studies home, and it’s a win-win exterior color selection process for everyone.
