Quintessential White New England Homes

Below is a small collection of photos I’m sharing of white New England homes and I will certainly be sharing more white homes in the future. The video, at the bottom of this post, shows 195 photos (if I counted correctly) of paint colors perfect for New England style homes.

Keep in mind these are my Editors Choice photos, from 2015 and 2016, taken during our travels throughout New England. Future photos and years will be added.

Below is just part of the series, showing some of New England’s antique and new homes painted white with black shutters, white with green shutters, white on white homes with no shutters, and several other combinations. These houses are what you would truly call quintessential New England style homes.
