"Yes, it's true...there's lot of folks lined up to buy the Brooklyn Bridge." I honestly don't know your point here, however, I am going to assume that you are agreeing with me, since you used the Brooklyn Bridge in your example. As we know, the Brooklyn Bridge was originally named the New York and Brooklyn Bridge. However, it was dubbed the Brooklyn Bridge 18 months before construction started and that was the more popular name. One must wonder if Roebling also constantly told politicians that there is no such thing as The Brooklyn Bridge? ======= Please note I am not saying there is such a thing as modern farmhouse style. I am just noting that there is little reason to expect a layman to know that. Furthermore, maybe one day there will be, we might want expertise to be the assigner and arbiter of names, but in reality pop culture names most things. I assure you that your car has likely never actually depreciated. It certainly had no additional depreciation just because you drove it off the lot. However, misuse can become so popular that it is no longer misuse.

Wow, great options Celery Girl! I like the Gray roof white body the most. Do you think that I should add shaker siding as an accent in another color? Love the flower bed extension and the sidewalk being moved. Thank you so very much, very helpful.

I have to agree. That's just way too much. Are the sides and back the same? Romabio makes has a mineral base 'paint' that is used for masonry products. you could paint all of it it would end up looking something like this. (you can have it painted any color. this one just shows white) it's done to these flagstone fireplaces quite a bit these are lime wash w/Romabio Classico. another option is a mortar wash or german schemer application . looks like this when done even just doing the grout joints in a off white color would make it less noticeable. and a new door. that faux victorian door you have doesn't work on ANY home. get something like this. (not this color, although, a bold yellow or blue wouldn't be bad) get one of these or something like it, to hold your hose. up to you what you want to spend. check out the Romabio option, and then get some estimates for refacing the front.
