Do you have a sample of the stone to post? That would be helpful... If it's in the gray tones, then a med gray body with the white and black trim would be elegant and classic. We have the brown tones in our stone work so we went with a taupe color for our siding....

Very nice....I suggest posting this in home decor too...lots of good people with good color advice there. I like the white and black and then a color on the siding with maybe a 4th color accent on the front door. It is so neutral that you can go with any color you want....maybe pick a color out from the stone you will be adding to the front....

Hi there, We haven't done it yet, but I still want to. I actually found a neighborhood near here (tipped off by my neighbor who's been thinking of doing this for ten years but has yet to pull the trigger) where there are tons and tons of houses like ours, most painted a single color. They look great. And it's in a very fancy area, which I think explains the greater prevalence of doing this than my specific neighborhood, which is nice but not ritzy (since painting the brick adds a lot of $$). I took pictures of some of these houses, which I'm happy to post. I think it's important though to hire a really really good painter, and to shell out the extra $ for good paint. I've seen some crappy jobs and it's not worth it.

I love it without the shutters, but since it's such a classic (and stunning) home, shutters are probably in order. I'll let others comment on that. What would add layering to what you think is a flat look is amazing landscaping. Get a designer from a small garden center to help design a landscaping plan that will add shapes, color, and depth to your beautiful house. Note: this house doesn't need shutters since the gardens add so much to the house.
