What a wonderful project. And how nice that the house is set back so that different areas of transition can be created. Will you be growing tall trees so the home is eventually sheltered in dappled shade? Lower landscaping so the house rises above washed with sunshine? Do you want a rather mysterious look with a narrow area of accented house intriguing and drawing the eye in , making people going by try to see more? Do you want an open look with the property lushly foliaged but the house very much on display, serenely or exuberantly? If you have a image in mind of what you want, style, mood and light included, you could then drive around both creative older and expensively landscaped neighborhoods looking for ideas to realize it. Color choices made then? These mostly lack the rich color you want, but I was mostly thinking first of how it might be dressed with garden. :) Lush elsewhere, perhaps, but close in as open and airy as the interior? I'm really not crazy about brown in general, but even I think a brown reminiscent of wet tree trunks works wonderfully to accent and tie inside, transition areas, garden together. The previous property uses it also.

Teal is a very beautiful 50s color, and it's also very current. I am a native Texan, and I am here to tell you that orange looks very very hot in the summer LOL. Teal would lower the temperature a bit.

Eagle painting. i.am in Michigan. what is your painting advise for colors???

I normally don't like blue but this is nice, with a orange front door. Paint the soffits a bright white, it will reflect more light into your house. After I painted mine white, from a medium gray, made a noticeable difference. https://pin.it/6oPCk4E This is more like your houses brick color, like the orange door again. https://images.app.goo.gl/MLHjxZfqxcHreqeY6
