Practigal - We are in San Diego. Water is at a premium and I have a ton of grass. I'm ok with the water bill but it is tough to keep green watering 2 days a week. BTW - I really like the covered entry also. Most examples in the neighborhood no longer exist because they either removed it to pop out the corner or they hit the brace with their car and had to remove it. Justerrilynn - I did mean the front door. Our neighborhood has quite a few examples of our similar home. One neighbor has the door right where you have it. Here are a few examples. Hope they don't mind me posting streetview photos. These are all homes built by the same designer in the 50's. The above home was the same as ours, flipped. I love the huge porch but, in person, the thing that really makes it look nice is the roof - heavy tile. Above are my across the street neighbors. House on the left is exactly like ours, just flipped. Both houses had the inset door and popped them out many years ago.

Beautiful home. What color is the mortar between the stone? I think I would paint the gable the same color as the stone.

Since you like grays, I would consider doing the following: cut back the tall shrubbery. Paint the the brick and siding on both sides in Sherwin Williams Amazing Gray SW7044. If the siding is vinyl, you should not paint it a darker color, since that will affect the way that it absorbs heat from the sun and expands. Painting vinyl siding can cause it to warp. If it is vinyl, keep it white. Paint all of the trim white. Paint the door on the left side of the house white so that the side entrance is less pronounced. Use a latex concrete stain over the front steps to make them look newer and fresher. I suggest Felted Wool SW 9171 (2 shades darker than Amazing Gray) for the front steps. The last thing to do is to paint the front door in a color that makes you feel good every time you drive up to the house: whether it be blue, black, red or whatever. I suggest waiting until after the house is painted before picking this color, so that the overall look of the house helps to inspire your selection. Buy some big beautiful light fixtures to go on each side of the door to replace those old fixtures.

^I like the color combos above with your brick. I also like the front door that apple green surrounded by white. The gray siding would go nicely with your roof and brick. I would use the gray on all of your siding excluding the brick (naturally). Paint your garage door the same gray so it recedes. Consider substantially trimming back your landscaping before you paint so you can see the house.
