This is he new garage door - those shrubs are being removed Monday, and once our water wise rebate is approved we can start new landscaping in place of the "lawn". Pinkmountain the walkway doesn't actually narrow but I agree the fact that it is narrower than and not aligned with the entryway "porch" is annoying. If we create a new front door though, we'd likely put a sidelight there or siding, so it would notnlook so strange. We are getting quotes for this now. If anyone has photoshop and could take a stab at a mockup I'd love it - I am only using my phone while nursing baby right now :) current resident, the previous owner was the son of the guy who built the house and there were some DIY changes done but most of this stuff was actually original including the garage door made of plywood over a metal frame. We are not sure when they decided to set the tub in 100 gallons of dirt/backfill (not mortar or sand). The original kitchen and layout are far from MCM it's more of a ranch than modern - no open floor plan or modern original features.but we are trying to move toward a bit more simple/contemporary look. We've had to put a lot of cash into the the house on vital things like completely new roof (tore off 3 layers of shingles and replaced all the sheathing) re-piping (corroded galvanized steel pipes) and so on... not a lot left over for aesthetics now. Some updates will have to be done over time. Where should I mount new house numbers? We currently have 2 locations one by the window and one beside the garage, we will remove those before painting and get new numbers. Would this style light be appropriate for the house? I like the idea of black door hardware and lighting too.

I agree, white gutters. Garage door could go either way - navy or white. Don't think I would choose black for the door. Fascia I would go with navy, I think, but again, white would probably work also

I love the sage green trim around the lighter front door, RL Location!!! I guess I like the green and brown as those are the colours of my Dad's house in Maine and it looks so great in its surroundings. Classic is classic for a reason! I think the green trim would really complement everything. Sorry about the windows. I hope you didn't find my comment insulting as I didn't mean it that way. There are pains and stains for vinyl windows, btw, but I've never used them so no experience.

I feel like everyone with greige homes and darker trims has black windows or shutters at least, so I wasn't sure if my white windows everywhere will look good with the dark rock and darker trim (well again, I originally planned on white trim). I did like the black garage door you had in the pic above with the large numbers very much. This one of many choices and I just feel overwhelmed! You have so many great ideas on the garage, I just need to finalize this trim and make a decision ; )
