I think I need to understand what the reason was for the blue. I can barely see the house in the pics so hard to really understand the color choice . I would rarely use a dark blue with black windows . I agree the glaring white huge garage door needs replacing and for thta I would choose a door with some glass in it and then I like the idea of the wood . Gutters are IMO not decor elements so either match the roof or the fascia .which is white now and honestly maybe black for both the gutters and fascia to tie in the black windows .I am not sure about the soffits.

Thank you all for all the input! We bought some paint samples this weekend and picked SW Urbane Bronze. Now our job for the week is to strip and sand all the windows before repainting. Then we’re going to work on prepping the foundation for plants! Unfortunately the interior entry will not allow a wider door unit. A wider stoop is definitely something we’re keeping in mind for the future, as it will add value to our home. Right now the budget won’t allow with the remaining renovations needed indoors (just the laundry room to go!) and the desperately needed landscaping. We’re going to add larger scones on both sides of the door, replace the railing on the stoop, and have some repair work done to keep it from deteriorating even more for now. I’m starting my research now to pick some native, non-toxic plants (I have small children and dogs) for the front. I’m excited for the progress to be made!

^^ Agree, you don't want white gutters or trim. Cream would be by far better than white, but even better than that would be dark brown gutters that mirror the color of the dark bricks you have. Look how beautiful the color of the dark brown shutters in your mock-ups look against your brick -- same concept with the gutters.

Personally, I would not paint your brick. I think it looks very nice. What I would change is as follows: 1. New house numbers. What you have looks cheesy. 2. New light fixture. Something bigger than you have. 3. Personally I would lose the shutters. 4. Paint your front door a vibrant color to stand out against the brick. 5. Landscape with some flowering bushes and get rid of all the depressing green bushes. Re-evaluate at that point to determine if these relatively simple fixes are all you need. Good luck!..
