Wow. Really neat. I'd go with brown. I'd also paint the window and door trim more of an off white.

If you add shutters that are either functional or give the appearance of being able to close over the windows (and they should be sized appropriately that way), aren't they going to be very closely spaced? I think that's going to really clutter the front façade of your pretty house.

I would definitely get operable / properly sized shutters and I wouldn't be putting them on the double window as this wouldn't be architecturally correct. They would 15" wide shutters which will leave aprox 9" in between each shutter as well as the corner trim. Here's a rendering but with the shutters on double window which will not be there.

OK, that mockup helps tremendously! Actually, it is a busy look but I think I like it. I kinda like that grayed green shutter you've used too.

OT, but how are you liking your solar array?

For color, I was thinking something along the lines of a grayed blue/turquoise. Definitely the solid, not louvered.

Yes, the solid. Love that look.

I like the shutters. I'd go with black.

Dark brown solid shutters. Off-white or tan trim instead of white because the white is TOO white on your dignified house.

And tho you didn't ask, I'd remove the distracting light post which is smack dab in front of the house.

Rusty red/ brown for the shutters. The green is a pretty color but is apropos of nothing---the color isn't found in the stone and it doesn't really set off the honey color of the stone at all. If you like green, perhaps a darker or more saturated hue would look better.

what size area does your solar array cover? We are considering an array on the southwest facing roof plane of our home.

Do you mind sharing your approximate location (northwest, southeast, Midwest, etc) and the size of your home (sq footage)? We are considering a similar array for our home in Georgia. Thanks!

I am facing south west so i get tons of sun. I live in Massachusetts. My house is 2,100 sq ft.

I love your home... without the shutters!

I love your house - without the shutters. With the shutters it looks very formal. Of course, that may be the look that you want.
