!st thing get rid of the dorm room drapes they are the first thing to catch your eye. I can’t see the door but a MCM door would be nice I would not paint the brick it takes a maintenance free material and turns it into something that will lawys require maintenace to keep from looking unkept. I woud paint the window trim a very dark brown almost black paint the garge door the same and then add a bit of color for the door I like walkways to the front door not driveways but that is not happening here so you need to amp up the MCM type landscaping .

Thanks. The drapes are already gone - they were for a staging by the seller.

I would leave the house for now and focus on your landscaping; also, add a new mid-century lamp post, front door, garage door, and house numbers.

Here is a picture of my front door, if that helps. Thanks all.

We plan to do landscaping this year, new house numbers, and new lamp in addition to some painting.

You have a really nice home and yard; wouldn't change it too much.

Like the color of your brick. Like the soffit and fascia color you have but if you want a change, you could go a shade darker.

Yard looks pretty good as is. Be careful not to crowd it. If you're in Planting Zone7, you might consider adding a long row of liriope (or something similar) alongside your garage and have it continue alongside your driveway all the way to the road.

Is that a birdbath? Cannot tell if there is any window from which it can be seen as is; if not, you might move it to where it can be seen thru the window from the living room of the house.

Would change the white lamp post in the front yard. The house number plaque on your house looks fine -- leave it -- but do add another at the beginning of your driveway. Perhaps combine the new lamp post and the new house number.

If your living room windows don't open at the bottom, you might consider replacing them with windows that do open.

I like your front door. I'd give if a fine sanding and redo that walnut stain color with another coat. (try General Finishes gel stain in American Walnut. Coat it w/a good exterior varnish w/UV protection)

For colors that go w/that brick color, try something like these

As for painting the bricks, I disagree w/the comment above. There are products out there that are natural, require no maintenance and cover w/one coat. (and bonus,,,if you don't like it, it washes off within 72 hours)

i'd consider painting your brick , only because that current color limits your color choices. a lot.

the Romabio has many diff colors, not just white. This brick color is very similar to yours:

If you did the brick in white, you could really play up the mcm aspect w/black or gray trim, or any type of bolder colors.

This before/after is quite diff. (it was a budget redo for a flip house though. but just look at the brick)

At the very least, consider doing the brick planters w/the Romabio
