dundas, Choosing brck and siding colour was very challenging for us too. I am not sure we got it right, but it might give you some ideas or help you see a red brick with a different siding colour. We chose Brampton Brick Crawford colour in small Queen size. We used a taupe (beige/greige colour) for the board and batten siding, with grey trim. The door is a fiberglass door stained to look like mahogany and there is real wood mahogany trim on the door (not fiberglass trim). Our house is not finished yet, but I have posted a picture where we used Photoshop to show the railing (imagine glass on the railing not mesh). The steps are stone steps and were not installed when picture was taken so we used Photoshop to show the steps too. Sorry, the picture is old, but it is the only one I have that shows what the railing will look like. Now, your brick has some yellow in it that our brick does not. So, I would not recommend the same colour siding as ours. You could do a beige, but not one that has hints of red undertones like ours does. Grey would also be a colour to explore. Best of luck deciding! You could also try looking at the Maibac website for ideas of different board and batten siding colours. Carol

zzest, If you ever still peruse this site, I am curious what you decided to do. We have a similar situation where we are totally rehabbing our screened porch to a 3 season room. The current red siding matches the house, but the contractor does not think it can be saved. New red vinyl not an exact match and a premium color to boot. We have a cream garage door, fascia and soffits. I will probably paint the whole house a different color anyway somewhere down the road, but not at this point. Thanks for any input.

First remove the shutters , you need a walkway from the street to the front door . I like gray/ green with brick and this is a good example of how good it looks. If you can do like this and paint the trim the same . You need a MCM door could be a color other han the siding or the same. Then it’s landscaping that will bring this house to life . I don’t know how far down the MCM rabbit hole you want to go but this is a favorite of mine

Very cute house. Please do not paint nor limewash the brick. It looks good just as it is. I would paint the windows and the garage doors to match the trim. Then spend your money on curb appeal, which it doesnt have at all right now. Have a landscape company draw up a design, and then you can diy it little by little. Landscaping, is what your house needs, the most. Congratulations on your new home.
