Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I am going to the paint store tonight to pick up some samples. I will have photos tomorrow to show. I am going to pick up some cooler beige and warm gray colors. This is my short list- Grant Beige, Edgecomb Gray, Bleeker Beige, Shaker Beige, Bennington Gray, Revere Pewter, Coventry Gray. I will also take a look at some cream colors but I am not sure how they will look against my cream colored cabinets. I was hoping for a little contrast. Any other suggestions?

I'm with Les on ' don't bother with improving for appraisal' -- except where lack of maintenance shows. Thus peeling paint on the trim needs to be cleaned up so do the 'white thing' just to tidy for now. The area in front of the brick porch wall needs tidying - perhaps buy another small bush or three for that area and trim the bush to the right in the pic. Any other areas which aren't clean and tidy (not meaning mag picture perfect - just clean and tidy) need addressing for appraisal purposes. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there was a prior post on possible improvements for this home, with some photoshopping and suggestions of beefing up the columns and like that?? So OP is looking for trim color suggestion not general improvement suggestions? So basically answer to question would be paint trim white (good base for future color choices) and clean, tidy & scrub for appraisal purposes. IMHO

It is funny, but I did not change the garage door color. I used MS Paint and it did weird things to the roof too. Looking at it here, it seems like I made the top part brown.... I'd either do the garage door with the 2 light tones or keep it all white. I'd paint it last to see how it looks white first with the new house color. When I was working on the mock up, the lavender was either too strong or too light. I went with too light because the next step up was garish. Our lavender is sometimes very subtle, but when you see the nearby white, you realize it is not white too. It also looks different as the light changes throughout the day. I'll try to take an exterior pic of our house tomorrow. The landscaping needs a major trim, but the blooming trees out front are at their best. I work from my office Thurs-Sun and from home Mon-Wed (much fewer hours), so can do some work on them in the a.m. and take a neater photo ;) Although, it sounds like it is raining outside at the moment...

You've done a lovely job on your home! Theres alot of work put into that I can certainly see. I'm sure its been a labor of love. We live in a rather cool climate...western Alberta where we can have 9 months of the year be cold. So any extra heating up from darker paint we can take lol. I'd welcome it! haha The white board and batten are staying white, the detached garage will look like the shed and we do have white trim on the house corners and along the top as well as the hexagonal vent at the top will all be painted a fresh white, plus there will be a thicker trim added to the windows....its hard to see the trim now as they blend in with the stucco too much and don't contrast. I think with the added deck, stone and wood for the entrance it will break up the stucco and blue enough. I haven't fully decided yet on blue but its certainly a thought thats going thru my brain instead of a neutral taupe.
