Need help with exterior paint color on or 1960 split level
Comments (1)My first suggestions will apply no matter what color combinations you choose. Put shutters only on the brick. Those are the only windows where shutters will fit appropriately. And, whatever the front door color, paint the storm the same. Gray: you need a green undertone to compliment the dark brick. Siding: Horizon Gray Shutters…do in a semi-gloss finish: Desert Twilight Front door and storm: Spice Gold Lovely and different with your brick color....See MorePaint colors/curb appeal help for brick + stucco split level
Comments (27)The lime wash on the brick will create a nice background for new plant materials. Just create curved maybe kidney shaped bed large on ends keeping plant materials a good 12-14” from house. This leaves room for air circulation and growth. Then the coordinating white for remaining siding of house keeps painting easier. You need a distinctive “gate-type” entry to porch to welcome visitors and show them in. Good Feng Shui when front door isn’t very visible from front area. It also broadens look of house. This has a lot of great potential. You can paint the peak above brick in front the Dried Thyme or white from brick. Whichever appeals more. The Red Barn or deep red/orange color compliments the roof and can be used for trim detail if desired. Just pick deep color hat works with roof. If you plan to replace roof, black is a good neutral color too. Goes with any roof. With lime wash any roof color will work. Just think total plan through so in the end you have a cohesive look. It’s going to be amazing. Take lots of pictures now from all angles. Then you will have great “before” pics to post for us with great “after” photos!...See MoreHelp!

Comments (2)what is the color you show in the first pick is tha your brick already painted (I sure hope not ) IMO the fastest way to devalue a house is to paint the brick . Iwould lose the shutters paint the siding the dark color get a MCM garage door and entry door and then do some nice MCM landscaping .So something like this for thebgarage and entry doors and this type of landscaping just leave the brick and BTW if you have grids in the widows change that ,...See More1960s Brick Split Level Exterior Update
Comments (27)There's a strict school of thought that shutters should only be used on window styles that would historically have had shutters that actually open and close. And that any non-operating shutters should still be wide enough that they would close if they could. My view is that shutters can be a purely decorative element, free from these rules, and still look good. So I would leave your shutters, because your upper windows are relatively small compared to the size of the space they are in, and the shutters make them look more proportional to the space. I think they're just the right size. So then I'd also leave the shutters on the windows below them. I'd remove the shutters on the larger window on the porch. Whatever siding colour you choose, I'd go with a medium tone - neither a very dark colour that could look overwhelming, nor a very light one that would pop out. Use the same colour to "paint out" the contrasting belly band between brick and siding, and also paint out the corner edge pieces on the siding (can't remember what they are called). Your front door is beautiful and perfect with your brick. Congratulations on your lovely home....See MoreCelery. Visualization, Rendering images
