I am a fan of brick houses, so I think I would lean toward trying to make the house look uniform on the brick side. Or I might do a taupe from the brick tones, on other part of house. I do also like the idea of a red garage. Or the taupe color with red garage doors.

SW Yam SW Copper Mountain or Pot...can't remember SW In The Navy

Right in style again! I suggest you put any money you saved on a new landscape plan you can install over the next couple of seasons. The big boxy bushes that need shaping and that cover your windows should be replaced with a more up to date, airy and open style of plantings, IMO. Enlist a local landscape architect or highly recommended nursery to plan a new installation that uses lots of native plants that will thrive in your area through the seasons.

Hmmm. Why not use hydrangeas themselves? paint has no true match for those luscious blooms And the shrub is lovely even after the blooms are dried. White fence ( unless you want to strip that sucker? or put new one in? ) basic, hydrangeas along it or ar least to either side of the gate so that they show the best. You have fantastic flower taste!! window trim: um. If you keep the color you might consider using the roof color, or white. Do you have plans to add anything beside the windows? Trim? I actually like the house color though I can see you need new siding. To more update the house, you have a lot of directions of paneling there. To the left of the door might be a textural stone or wood veneer? Since you mentioned the Museum over the other attractions in the area, you might choose to match-ish to your preference of stone there. Also the house siding: if you go white ( its not a new cottage, try a faintly off white in the vaguely warm direction) it will still be a lovely backdrop for hydrangeas. ( And Roses!!) if you want, since you already have a baby blue house in the area, a cooler lavender of your choice would be very nice. Door areas: if you have: A lavender ( any, light), the roof blue, white fence, then the area around the blue could be: And deeper , deeper warm purple for the door, ( dramatic n different) or milder, more gentle: Haint Bluein the door surround and an absolute white on the door, like So white it will make your snow blush.
