"Photo's of House"

Tudor is not really a style that is common in this area, and most of the ones I've seen are the standard white and brown. Here's a few pics I found on Google: Might be white, but appears creamy yellow: Might be real brick, but a brick like colour might be nice (I can't figure out how to make this pic a little smaller, sorry): This one looks dark taupe-grey with cream trim: Although the same house in different lighting appears almost green: This one looks like a reddish-cedar trim: This one is very light and bright: Hmm - Reverse Tudor? I think lighter coloured trim with a darker wall looks a little more Arts and Crafts than Tudor, but is still nice: Carrie

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

The overall look of your house is Tudor, but it has a lot of other elements tacked on that make it a mix of different styles. Thank the builder gods that you don't have a humongous double garage facing the front. Do not paint stone or brick or you'll be stuck with maintenance forever. Do not add shutters, which will add yet another style element to this blend of different styles. (The house below does have a double pair, though, if you're bent on them.) I'm not sure you can "update" something that doesn't have a single style. The current color actually does pull the stone and brick together. If you want the Tudor style to stand out, them do what Housson suggests picking a shade of the roof color for the timbers. Your stone entrance could use a little more drama with much larger light sconces. It's a shame the landscaping doesn't enhance the house as much as it could. A curved walkway farther out so that you could have more dramatic planting beds would have set off the house more impressively. What you have is fine but more suited to a smaller house.
