My utility boxes are in full view of my deck and stick out like a sore thumb. I'll have to see about camouflaging them. Oooh, I never thought of doing this!

Our house is a 1956 ranch with years worth of different paint jobs and three sides facing a street, so leaving them the fleshy beige that our house was when we bought it was not an option. Plus, who wants to look at cables, cords and boxes when they can just blend in? Now that I know that I can paint my electrical meter, it's going blue next spring!

Surface material and color make a huge change in emissivity of an object. So it's good that you called your propane company, and anybody else thinking of painting their tank should probably call their own company. My friend had trouble on his home inspection or getting a permit or something, because the previous owner had painted the propane tank green to camouflage it, and it had to be returned to the original paint and color to pass.

It is amazing what you can do with paint and a little elbow grease! I also love your how-to videos, so much inspiration for when my husband and I buy a home of our own. Question: I do not see any neighboring homes in your pictures, do you live on an acreage? Just curious! Your home is just so adorable.

You definitely want to be careful to make sure that you don't cause the tests to become defective. Perhaps dry brushing a tiny bit of color (suuper thin coats) just around the shell (being sure that it doesn't get inside the detector) will do the trick. You'll also then want to test it (push the test button or replace the batteries) to ensure that it's still functioning. Safety first! Hope it helps. xo, s

There is one on the wall of our dining room that sticks out so badly. Do you know if you can paint things like carbon monoxide detectors?
