Summary: American in Tokyo Returning to the US
Comment: We have been living in Japan for the past 3 years, but are about to move back to our house in the states. We plan to do some major redecorating once we return. We also want to paint the outside of our house a different color. Right now it is off-white. I have the book, The Perfect Palette, which I used to choose all the interior colors for my rooms three years ago. I emailed the author asking her to consider publishing a book for exterior paint colors. And here it is! I was so excited to find it on Amazon. The book couldn't be nicer. It has large, beautiful photographs of houses that are divided into color chapters. So, if you want a yellow house, you turn to the yellow chapter and flip through page after page of gorgeous yellow houses, all painted in different shades of yellow. And, you get the actual paint number and the brand of paint that was used on every single house in the book. I couldn't believe it. This sure is going to make my job easy and enjoyable. This book gives you everything you could possibly ask for in an exterior paint color guide. It's fantastic!

Summary: A Wonderful Resource
Comment: I am a huge fan of Ms. Krims book, The Perfect Palette. It is simply the best paint color guide available. It was extremely helpful to me in choosing all the paint colors for my rooms. And the results are amazing. The pages of my book became so worn from use, I had to buy a second copy.
I wrote Ms. Krims several years ago asking if she might do a similar book for exteriors. I was delighted to find that she did. Only this book is even more lovely than the first, with dozens of house photos painted in stunning colors. She makes it so easy to narrow down color choices by dividing all the colors into their own color chapters and then she gives you the paint colors that were used on the houses pictured in the photos. It took only minutes for me to decide to paint my house "Basin Blue" based on the recipe "Blue-gray Cottage". My house isn't the same style as the one pictured in the recipe, but I can clearly see that the colors will look every bit as attractive on my Dutch colonial. This book is a wonderful resource.

Summary: Great Book! Great Help!
Comment: I have two of Ms. Krims' books, The Perfectly Painted House and The Perfect Palette. We bought a Federal Style home built in 1820 in downtown Fitchburg, MA for my husband's psychology practice last year. We consulted the book and decided on the Phelps Putty color, but kept the shutters black (although your choice of gray was stunning and I may do that in the future). The color suggestions along with the pointers on painting cedar shingles in the appropriate way yielded great results and we have gotten many compliments. Our next project is our own home and I chose the Glastonbury combo for my main floor and the Marblehead for our downstairs. Clearly Ms. Krims' books have been used and enjoyed. Thank you very much!
