Good morning, chic readers! We’re so glad that you’re here today and hope that you are able to find little spots of joy each day during this difficult time.
We love coming here each day and being with you, hearing from you and maintaining this small piece of normalcy in our days and weeks.
You know how much we love getting your emails and questions to help guide our content. Recently, a reader emailed us that he and his were wife were having a debate over the new home they were building.
White wood?
Or white brick?
We must say that, living in a white clapboard house, we are a little partial to wood. It is pretty much our favorite exterior style.
But, if we’re being totally honest… It requires a certain level of maintenance. Granted, it’s 120 years old and stands up to wind and saltwater 365 days a year, so, all things considered, it isn’t so bad! .
And, of course, undeniable curb appeal.
When it comes to the issue of wood vs. bricks, we can’t say that there’s a clear winner… But, the good news is, you can’t really go wrong! Which would you choose?
Thanks so much for making Design Chic a part of your day. We always love seeing you here–especially now! If there’s something you’d like to see, something that would make you smile during this tough time, please don’t hesitate to drop us a line. We’re here for you!
Stop back by tomorrow for 5 fabulous, can’t miss days of giveaways!!

I love your posts. I live in Marietta, GA. and I can relate to all that you share. I keep seeing all white walls in images with white trim, but they usually have cladding of some sort. In a suburban setting where sheet rock is king (even in high end houses) is this a good idea? I would love to see your thoughts on this. Remember, this is Georgia, so we are blessed with more moulding in our houses than most of the country. Keep on giving us what we love!!! Thank you.
Good Morning Girls,
MC and I have had many, many homes over our 60 years of marriage and by far our favorite was hardyboard painted white with black shutters and a black door
We have at least another month of social distancing and all that involves. We’ll get through this, I know. Hope all is well with you
