The original Tudors were really stunning, but there were huge, they had steeply pitched roofs, and they did not have garages LOL. On many modern homes, I think tutor is just too much. I would either leave off the boards, or paint them the same color as the house to make them sort of disappear.

If anyone can help I would be grateful! I really need to make a decision this weekend if possible. I know I need to do samples but would appreciate any direction on which SW whites to look at. I want it to be soft and warm/inviting and wouldn't even mind a cream if I can find on that still looks like a creamy white rather than yellow. Thoughts? Would SW Creamy work or go too yellow?

I'd call it Tudor, but its probably more accurately a storybook cottage. Whatever you want to call it, what a neat house. It's adorable! I'd prefer a light stucco with dark trim. It's just what looks right to me. The green you have now reminds me a little of the green used in the brick and timber frame farmhouses in northern Germany. My grandfather told me that they painted the wood green for good luck (or maybe it was to blend in with the moss) https://farm9.static.flickr.com/8689/17227343571_5c078f319f_b.jpg

Aren't most Tudor homes "mock" LOL? (Although I loved the "real" Tudor homes when we visited Shrewsbury in 2019.) Mine is a Tudor style too and I love it. And I live in Toronto so we don't have any genuine Tudors because...Toronto didn't exist during the Tudor era LOL. Agree that cream vs white is the way to go. It looks good with the rendering and half-timbering all the way across. My area of the city has lots of these Tudors and people have painted the rendering all sorts of colours - white, cream, tan, gray. IMO the nicest look is cream with a dark warm brown e.g. Benjamin Moore's Tudor brown for the half-timbering. I'd add some diagonal half-timbering too, just because I think it looks good. Where it makes sense, paint any white or dark gray wood in the same dark brown. Maybe your garage door just needs a coat of paint. Paint or stain your front door dark brown too and it will fit in. Your yew hedge will give you privacy once it's filled in. Not sure what your plans are for landscaping, but in the meantime if you had one large planter it would give your house a lift. Depends on your climate, we don't know where you are. Very nice house.
