I didn't even see the smaller pictures load before thinking Hah -- the colors I was thinking -- and moving on (they were tearing out my tile floors today -- sneaking any internet time during the day was a treat). Looking closer, the walls appear gray on my screen too, and that works too. Looks like one of what I initially saw as two shades of blue may be one grey and one blue. If you don't have the bedding and that's what you want, get it and then it will be much easier to pick a color from it or inspired by it to work with everything, especially since it has a touch of yellow. Has some beige too, but they are compliments to the cooler colors.

likewhatyoudo - Thank you so much for those gorgeous recommendations. I do feel like I need something a bit more dramatic as everyone in our neighborhood is pretty much light gray. Just curious what is the equal of BM Embers to Sherwin Williams? And regarding your suggestions of beefing up columns, we actually replaced our columns last week which I've attached today's picture here so you can see it a bit more. I would LOVE to replace our door in addition but I don't have the $$ to do that t this time. Not sure if you saw another post I actually added this morning (titled: Help! Need to decide exterior paint asap! Looking for mok ups to help) explaining I just lost my job due to COVID so I'm scraping by gettting the little work done that is currently taking place (replacing awful wood rot and the load bearing columns) , and now getting to paint. So no wiggle room for anything extra though we are trying to get our front lawn to look good this summer (fingers crossed). I really do appreciate all suggestions though.....time is ticking and my fiance is going to ring my neck!

I paired sw ivoire with eaglet beige and antique white. I also will have a paneled accent wall that will be sw real red. I know I want my bedroom. To be ivoire because I don't want to much light. I wanted to do my foyer the ivoire too then living room and kitchen a lighter color. I don't know. That is my tile that will be used in kitchen and bathrooms.

A gray roof like yours is neutral, so you can do any color. The first decision is do you want saturated color (like the deep blue) or a softer color (like the gray-greens)? Just making that decision will help. Your house has an adorable cottage-y feel so anything goes - which makes it harder but more fun. Scour Houzz and Pinterest for cottage house photos and see what you are drawn to. Start an inspiration folder just for the outside paint. Redoing the porch and columns will definitely help. But make a note to paint your porch ceiling Haint Blue, which is a fun tradition. (You don’t have to be Southern to do this.) Your house is perfect for that.
