Very first impression is there are way too many narrow shutters and none fit the windows properly. What is not taken advantage off is the mill work over the windows. If painted the white of the windows, the windows would be lovely without the shutters. Shiny red front door…..

Beautiful house! Here are some ideas for garage doors.

Creative Visual Concepts, Kevin Strader Thank -you! I will check your site out tonight! Since we are looking at everything, I want to take the opportunity to make the decisions that will work together best, rather than pick a favourite shingle and when I finally decide on colour/garage door regret I didn't go browner/grayer etc. celerygirl Thank-you. Keeping the columns saves a few pennies for other fun projects! We are struggling with how light/dark to do the house and what colour - or even if it should be more than one. Do we paint the bands to match the stucco, or keep them as an accent. Garage door light/dark/wood. The prevailing colour of the all stucco houses here are various shades of beige, with some people now re-doing into various shades of gray. Is there a better look than all one colour of beige/gray? Right now the section where the front door is matches the columns. My inclination remains to maybe keep this section a different colour from the rest of the house (But keep the columns matching the body of the house?) Could this other colour carry onto the 2nd storey portion of the house as well? Or the front of the garage?

I don’t think there is any green siding. I think it is a tan or taupe color. After the rain I will get a another pic of the siding up close. I totally agree about the front porch. My sister gave me the bench before she passed so it is like gum on my shoe but maybe I could up-cycle it into something small and lighter in color. I have thought the same thing about a rug as well. Thank you so much for your suggestions. I so badly want to feel like our homes exterior makes sense and matches.
