Hi @danamyt! If you choose our Navy Blue for your siding, we warrant the solid stain on the product (two solid colour factory coats) against peeling, blistering and cracking due to normal weathering for a period of fifteen years from the date of purchase.

i dont know why the picture keeps flipping upside down!

I would paint the siding the same color as the brick. It will unify the house. Then use the color of your choice for the shudders and front door.

Yes, all shutters off. Whatever siding color you pick, paint both doors the same color. (A different style door would work better than the Victorian one) I vote for same siding color for all of it, a color that works well with your gray roof since a lot of it shows, although Emmeren's photo is an interesting way to handle the two finishes of the siding.. Since you're just moving in, landscaping is the last thing you're probably thinking about. But this house could look amazing with much deeper beds with taller plants in back, perennials, bushes, hardscaping, and more. When you come up for air, and if you have some budget left, a small garden center can help you come up with the plan. Good luck. It's a pretty house. Cream and gray. Add bright blue doors (replace Victorian door) (This post is a good example for people who want to paint their brick--next owners may not like painted brick, or they wish it were unpainted. I'm usually pro-brick because it adds texture to a façade and can work well with very modern colors--navy, black, charcoal. I usually suggest a brick walkway to enhance the brick and link it to beautiful landscaping. Why brick is considered worse than widely accepted vinyl siding, I don't know.)
