Maybe the door would be good in red? But I always think that. Still.... Or how about a teal or soldier blue door? It's a cute, cute house. Maybe that horizontal rod going across the storm door is removable. I've had storms like that. If you could take the cross piece off, it would let the nice wood door show better. And the light that awmo3 posted would look great on your house. A variegated red-twig dogwood would be good, maybe on the left hand corner. They have nice bright red stems in the winter. (Oh-oh....there I go again with the red.) I'm in zone 4. My dogwoods are the nicest color I can have in the winter. Otherwise it's pretty blah in the middle of winter. You might also consider some Annabelle hydrangeas. They are so pretty in the summer and have a nice old-fashioned look. If you want to, you can leave the big pom-pom flowers on all winter and cut them back in the early spring. The blooms turn rusty brown color and it gives you something out there in the winter. And also one or two small evergreen shrubs would be nice out there so you have some dark green color during the winter. Then plant some daylillies and some asiatic lillies for summer color. If you expand those planting beds out a ways so they are deeper, and make them a curvy shape, that will add to the look too. If you leave the stained porch as it is, you could get some golden or medium brown cedar mulch for the garden and that will tie the porch color into the landscaping.

I like the blue in the room better than the browns in the last edition of pictures. The blue cleans it up a bit more. Both chairs are pretty colors. Could you add some navy in addition to the more muted colors that you like. Or maybe a very light soft blue/turquoise grey. The TV images are adding color to the room that may be distracting my evaluation, lol.

You really shouldn’t post the same question twice. It is counter productive. I brought you out of the “unanswered” when I replied to your other post. Stick with that one and delete this. http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/4876532/struggling-for-weeks-on-exterior-paint-color-please-help

Congrats on your house! I would not have any shutters on this house, they’d have a very hodge-podge look with the way the windows are arranged. My first projects would be getting the roof cleaned and addressing the landscaping. I’d get rid of many of the shrubs, especially between the entry and garage. Better landscaping will make a big difference. If you are set on having shutters, then yes, just the top three. Wait and see before painting the pediments. Similar style with black: I’d take them all down and live with it that way a bit to see what you think.
