Oh thank you!! It's really great place, I feel so fortunate to have lived here and wish we could stay! I agree about the trim color, just don't know what to...

great home. I don't care for the tan and brown, especially w/that darker gray roof.

what about a light gray that matches your stone work, and this very dark green for the trim work?

The Jasper really picks up all the beautiful greenery around the home. on the right are some darker grays.

if you can, sand the door a bit and apply a new coat of stain and a spar urethane varnish. or you could paint it a color depending on what color combo you choose. (the Midnight oil in semi gloss would look really nice. so would potting shed if you went w/all grays on the home)

other combos

Thumbs down. Choose a color from one of the stones.

I would suggest changing the trim color to a very pale grey or white /makes a nice contrast.

Light silver gray with just a touch darker gray on the trim. If a full new paint job doesn't appeal, try painting the trim off white.

What this beautiful house really needs is some careful pruning of the shrubs along the facade and the front stairs. Houses look good when the shrubs are a foot below the window sills and a foot back from the edge of a walkway. In many geographic areas, leaving an air gap of a foot or so between the branches and the walls allows good air circulation (and room for the painter). Prune at the right time of year for your Oregon house.

Your home is wonderful, especially the jerkinhead gables. I agree with lowering the height of the entrance shrubbery. A change is needed on the front door, the current oval glass is not in keeping with the contemporary motif. A wood craftsman can probably remove the panel holding the glass and replace it with a panel containing two narrow vertical panes. Solicit opinions about repainting from Agents that have sold homes in your price range, as they will know what buyers want.

What a great home!

I think painting the trim and garage doors a dark charcoal would give it a fresh enough look for resale.

The shrubbery overgrowth and the tan with all the gray are what I'd change. Have you loaded a pic to the major paint company sites to "try on" colors?

PLEASE banish the word "dated" from your vocabulary! The question is not is it dated, but is this a good color for my house - ie does it mesh beautifully with its surroundings.

The answer IMHO is no. I think it needs to be done in darker, more substantial colors taken from nature - besides the stone work you can take your inspiration from the colors you see in the forest and sky - blues, greens, grays, greiges. Some of the greys above already posted would fit right in - but no whites or lights!

Its not a pure craftsman, but "craftsmanish" and that esthetic is very much about natural colors/materials and blending into the natural environment. Wish I could move in!

Again, I love your house. And agreed with Current Resident, please banish the word "dated". Your home is wonderfully detailed.

And kind of like your kitchen and bathroom- I rather like it as is. Clean up/trim up your landscaping. What do your have for fresh grow and/or color in the springtime when you are planning on putting the house up?

Consider a good washing of your siding if you are not going to be painting it, and do it before you paint your trim. If you paint the trim fresh and leave the siding unwashed, it can look like a bit of a rush job. I'm not sure if the whole house needs to be done, but at least the back area where the deck is and you can see the splash/kickup line on the siding in places.

For sure paint the garage doors- it's the only spots I saw that showed obvious paint missing or damaged. I rather fancy that Potting Shed Red that Beth provided. I like it for the front door too.

The color isn't dated, it is just the wrong color for your house. It needs to be darker to blend with the vegetation and stone.
