NewHB: Thanks!! The flowers and herbs (both in pots and in the garden) have actually managed to stay alive this year -- thanks to slightly cooler (and now chilly! LOL!) temperatures around Dallas! The silk flowers in the large half-basket have been replaced with fall ones -- always a nice change! Of course the front door area is now filled with spooky Halloween decor! LOL!

I would pick one of the colors in the brick columns. You could leave the door the current color but I think you need to tone down the trim colors. It draws the eye away from the front door. If you don't like the door color a bright teal would look good. If you're interested in seeing some color mock ups check out my web site, Creative Visual Concepts.

Odd that your lantern lights at the front door are not mounted at the same height. I would correct that. New ones should be 1/3 the door's height. You might consider picking a darker gray from the stone and painting the brick that color to unify the house. You should be able to find a brick that is close enough in style to replace the medallions before you paint it all one color. Check out Romabio for new high tech masonry paints and washes with less maintenance. Once the body of the house is gray, the white trim will be ideal. What are you thinking regarding landscaping? I would certainly remove those two tall bushy shrubs in front.
