Comments (2)I think a light grey would look very smart - white trim. Be sure to paint the garage door the same color as the house to help it disappear....See MoreNeed a new exterior paint color and new roof!

Comments (17)Congratulations your house is fine :) The best part of the front elevations IMHO is the long gracious approach view from a distance you shared, where there are mature trees, layering, shadow, hide-and-reveal peeks at the house from beyond. That’s a major priceless amenity, not easy to fix unless you have the room and 15+ years to wait for trees to mature. Beyond that IMHO it doesn’t really matter if the (warm) paint hue is gray-green or green-gray or greige with darker shutters, in the big picture and if it already is in good condition I would not change it for the sake of changing things. Your house is layered nicely including the front porch casting a darker shadow for more depth. Yes the porch columns and railings should stay “white“ or whatever the whitish light trim color is for them to read against the rest. Everything else is nitpicking in the big picture. The nitpicking - A personal pet peeve is the “wallpaper” brick veneer facing detail on the second story front stopping at the corner and not continuous around the corner. I would either paint the upper floor brick veneer on the front to match the siding to minimize that contrasting corner. Or peel off the brick veneer wallpaper from the upper floor and continue the siding for a “whole” or solid appearance. Since it isn’t “my” house and the market loves brick even if only a facing, and it doesn’t bother you just leave it, not worth it. I would not try to add more brick around the corner. The low brick corners on the garage & on the front porch corner are disguised with tall landscaping & not that obvious. Since your lot seems deep and generous I would have tried for the garage to be a 90 degree “ell” shape so the garage doors were on the side of the “ell”, & have a parking courtyard for this type of house. At this point the way the front garage doors are painted a darker color is fine....See More2020 NEW Roses - USA
Comments (510)I agree, in Texas, check the local Lowes, they had Moonlight in Paris both spring and fall. I must confess in North Texas it’s my fault the stock wasn’t there for long, I showed all my friends pictures of MiP and they totally annihilated Lowes’ supply in about a day. When I visited Certified they told me they were most pleased with the popularity of it and that all their stock had been promised to various nurseries much quicker than expected. So I’m happy they had such great success with one of their imports, and hope they do more !...See Moreafronaut
