Advice for front door and shutters paint colors on brown brick house
Comments (3)I'd be tempted to take off all the shutters, since they're way too small for your wide windows. Second choice black, although the current white isn't bad. Frond door I'd go with a cheery color that contrasts with the brick, especially to come out from under the new roof -- a bright medium blue, say....See MoreUpdating exterior of home and need advice on new shutter color

Comments (7)Thank you all so much for your comments! Just to clarify... I have black louvered shutters on all windows on the front of the house (as shown in the 2nd photo). The first photo shows how it looks since we have removed a few shutters for repair and paint prep. I have seen a lot of tone on tone or lighter colored shutters and began wondering if my black w/white siding on top of multi-color old brick looked too dated. The back of the house has 4 casement windows (upper) and 2 lower. We have never had shutters on these. I noticed that my photos - front and back yard - look almost mirror-image! But that was just a coincidence. Thanks again to you all! Picking out paint colors is tougher than it looks! :)...See Moreneed advice on exterior of brick cape cod beach house
Comments (7)Are the hexagonal windows for light or just air flow? I feel like updating them to something rectangular would be a greater return on investment than painting such nice neutral brick! I’d also look at ways to make the entrance more special, more substantial railings, instead of two small light fixtures one bigger fixture, move the address number somewhere more visible. I think the flower boxes are quaint, but I’d get bigger shutters, ideally shutters should be the size of half the window and your house facade totally allows for proper sized ones!...See MoreRyan
