Comments (3)For sure, the house is not ugly. You may not like the brick, but it’s not ugly. Romabio is recommended for brick but if looking for general guidelines, you need a mineral paint for brick. A lime wash is also an option. I’d go with a cream color for the brick and Urbane Bronze for trim, or accent colors. Classic wooden stained door. It will all look very clean, classic and stylish. Update any lights and make sure they are the right size. The columns appear a bit puny, but probably not enough to do anything about. I like their taper. You’ll get the biggest bang for your buck with new landscaping. Please don’t trim shrubs into balls, globes, trapezoids.. Plant arching shrubs such as nine bark (arching growth habits are SO elegant, lovely and natural looking). I’ve just ordered a Little Quick Fire hydrangea: it blooms all the time with flowers that are white and dusty pink. It’s also the kind of plant I picture for southern regions. Have no idea if you get a true autumn down there but shrubs with fall color would be great. Keep your landscaping simple but interesting....See MoreExterior Paint for Ugly House
Comments (16)You haven't really given enough visual information. RL Relocation's idea of priming white will make the given features stand out so you can see what palette you're workig with.

Consider permanently removing the shutters, which really don't work well on ranches. If you can afford a new garage door, a reddish golden brown wooden garage door would hugely upgrade your ranch especially since it seems to be on the entrance side....See Morecat_ky
