Beth H. :

I like the door. I'd remove the shutters, especially from the large window since they are way too small, and prob the others too.


similar home style, no shutters. much better looking


The door is more modern but the shutters don't work w/it. take them off.

I'd think about painting that cement porch (or you could stencil it too) w/the terra cotta color. the Harbour might be nice on the ceiling.


for example, a stencil in these colors would look really nice w/the home (no shutters tho!)


instead of this gray, you could use the dark blue and the STudio white w/the terra cotta


similar brick style house (no shutters!) looks cool w/the dark band trim color

If you want something lighter, try one of these. (for the ceiling)


Since that white is just too strong, I'd go w/one of the cream or sand colors for all of that white trim and even the posts, then I'd paint the downspout and gutters an antique copper


here's a quick mockup. new light, removed shutters, painted the posts a creamy white, and gave you the antique copper painted down spout


you could also do a batten siding over the brick portion on the porch
