painting the exterior of our brick and stone home
Comments (2)what a beautiful house! I'm all for painting brick, but not this one. it's gorgeous. it's your trim that needs painting, nothing else. right now it melts into the brick. there is no contrast the other main thing to do is pruning and landscaping. right now it's quite overgrown and messy looking. Hire someone to landscape, tidy it up and plant new, and hire a painter for the wood trim ONLY, posts and trim around windows A copper roof over the upstairs window would look amazing! (if yours is, then polish it!) look at the copper over this window...and the dark rust colored trim work. this is in Houston search Tudor brick homes to get ideas on what colors you like. drive around your neighborhood,,there must be other similar homes....See MoreIdeas to Update our Dark Brown brick house
Comments (7)I would match the siding to one of the brick colors you have already - lightest or darkest. Remove the stick-on faux shutters and don't put them back. Beef up your spindly, Victorian porch posts with square ones and upgrade the doors for a more stylish vibe. Match gutters and downspouts to the color of the surface they are on so they show less. See if that one running from the upstairs and onto the porch roof can be placed somewhere less visible. New landscaping will make a huge difference!...See MoreIdeas for Updating Our Front Exterior Home Facade?
Comments (12)Love the house. A definite yes to the squared up columns. There is so much garage door expanse (three car garage--fantastic!!) that I would maybe consider painting them or changing out to blend more with house. Landscaping refresh. Front door really does look fine, but if it's not in great condition and you're looking for a change, I would switch to one center door with sidelites.

Comments (57)House color should probably match the siding color Romabio offers these as standard, though they can be applied in a solid color. It might be interesting to have some of your brick show through the limewash to add texture to the house. Not totally see thru but enough so that it might hide any dirt that accumulates on the surface. Maybe upgrade the garage door in the future....See Moregustaviatex
