My one regret with the black island is that I chose a shaker door without a bevel. Those little corners are hard to clean and the black shows everything! If I could do it over I would still do a black island but it would be a stained wood, painted black and then distressed. That way any nicks and bumps show wood and not a white chip. We are considering changing that down the road.

Your trim looks very white. I love B.M. Linen White with bright white. White, with pale yellow undertone, would look great with a purple front door. This idea, but darker…B.M. Black Raspberry

I meant the brick. But to be honest, the stone under that one portion of the window just looks out of place. was it added at some point? Is it anywhere else on the home? you could lime wash the brick. this is interesting how they've done it here, and paired it black, not brown, trim. But keep reading for Tudor details. Do you see what I mean? You have four, very distinct, design elements of this house. They all fight each other It's a Tudor style, yes? (i'd pull these ball shrubs too. once they grow in it's going to look overgrown) I'd remove that shake and do something like this, while white washing the brick I found one similar home w/brick and the shake on the and story. look at this one. but you see how the color of the shake in the gable matches the tone of the brick? then look at the flagstone pathway. those tones also match both of the other elements. Instead of those shakes being that blue gray color, you could replace them w/the cedar shake, just like this. These would match perfectly w/your brick. see? tried to photo shop it for you. much better. Get a new porch light, and I'd prob whitewash you flagstone steps. I gave you a gothic style light, and a darker front door color. that medium brown doesn't work. try Iron Ore or Peppercorn Here's one w/similar color brick, but look at the flagstone around the door. it's the same tones. And the upper portion is stucco and wood trim, not the shake. This is more of an updated tudor style home.
