This backroom (white painted pine) was starting to fall apart. In a few years we'll likely pull it down for an addition, but for now we want to use it.
We had pressure treated stairs put in last year after the old ones collapsed. We then noticed joist and panel rot, so the contractor did a great job repairing it, but now we have a backroom that has the bottom half in red cedar, the top half in peeling white paint over white pine, and stairs in raw pressure treated pine/fir/whatever.
The red cedar is so nice we don't want to paint it. At most we'd stain it something not far off from it's natural color. We'd like to paint the remaining wood to go well with the cedar and the rest of the house.
We have a cedar fence that we could also stain to match, but would also like to keep that as natural as possible. The back of the house is mostly light (i.e. yellow) brick. The ceiling, soffits, troughing of the backroom is white and the roof black.
Any design advice would be appreciated!!!
