by updating, do you mean you are repainting and want color advice?

because right now that yellow/gold color clashes w/the red roof. I'd paint all of the yellow portions a darker color like a bronze/charcoal or even a deep sage

don't know if you want to paint the stucco or not.

or, you could redo the stucco in a soft tan and redo all of the trim in the white.

painting the yellow was a thought but the white stucco is what needs a new coat. Can you fathom a color that would bridge the yellow and red? Like a green-grey?

I would make friends with your local nursery, take photos of the house with you and simply be honest with them. Tell them you are an very happy new home owner, overwhelmed, don't know anything about gardening/landscaping but you really could use some help to come up with a 3/5 year landscaping plan. A lot of nursery owners will come to your house free as long as you purchase a plant or two. (huge help) Start with a tree in between garage windows. Plant it at least 5 feet from house. (make it an anniversary gift so it starts memories/roots for the two of you) Plant other trees or more expensive special plants on important dates as they come, children, promotions, birthdays... Definitely go slow, but you will be amazed at how far a couple hundred dollars can go. Hang some plants on the porch it will fill in and soften the porch area. Don't forget winter color too, like red twig dogwoods, willows, --- Lastly, paint that front door a fun color that you love! ;-) Enjoy & Good luck!!

What color is the roof? They look very different in the two pics. Is the roof going to change? If it is indeed green - dont be afraid of it or try to pretend its not there - it WILL be seen and it will affect how the colors on the rest of the house look.. There are indeed greys/greiges/beiges that would play nicely with a green-gray roof, you just have to be cognizant of undertones and find the right one that does not fight with your roof color, but flatters and complements it. (FWIW Ive always been a fan of yellowy-cream-white trims with gray or gray green, not that stark white - can those doors, eaves etc be painted? Theres just something about yellows and grays that are just beautiful together. IMHO, a house always looks best when the roof is embraced and appreciated and considered as part of the color scheme. Some ignore the roof, but then end up with mismatched looking house. Try to find paint chips that best capture the "green gray" of the roof and that can help you zero in on some possible colors that would work well with it.

Have you ever considered spray painting the red stone along the bottom? There are techniques now that allow that. Companies such as Spary-Net (there are also other such companies) that can do that if you don't want to do it yourself (inquire about how to do it and what products to use). Taking that into consoderation, I show a greige for the stone which will be an even colour once spray painted but it will have a nice texture. I've suggested SW Functional Grey for the 2 doors, garage door, and trim paired with SW Pure White. You can look at the suggestion for ciment walkway paint. I show a new black railing, new front door black sconce, and if possible, install 2 black sconces on each side of the garage door for more detail.

jlcbm,,,i'd prob redo the garage area like this. (those clipped edges around the door and arched window are really dated) Doesn't this look better? square window in tihe black trim (this is if you go w/the dark trim option). the siding on the garage area is changed to a composite shingle/shake. new lights, and much better looking garage door. carriage hardware makes a big diff if you have a plain jane door like you have. on this one, a wood arbor buys up some of that huge space another door option w/the black hardware. you could also do the siding over here in a birck and batten panel, or vertical siding, or shake or both. across the middle below the window do a divider you could also do the siding over here in a birck and batten panel, or vertical siding, or shake or both. I love this one. see how they divided the gable portion w/vertical and horizontal? this is a grate, but you could square off your window. across the middle below the window do a divider. they did a thick white band above. smaller siding and composite shake. they have a small roof overhang, but you could do something diff These are the bronze colors. In any case, square off the clipped edges and do a diff window

no. that yellow is the culprit. I'd change that before I'd change the stucco color

I have a similar style home and did Wrought Iron on all of my trim, Swiss coffee for the stucco

see the darker trim color and how it works w/the red roof and white stucco? this is beautiful

Bonus, the darker trim will play well with your window color

similar roof w/more of a greige stucco and white trim

notice the darker accents on the door and fascia. lose the yellow!

Your house is gorgeous! The other grey houses/white trim are blah-Florida to me. Our house is set back on 2 acres so we can be a little more adventurous, not tied 100% to the southwest style. Thank you for your comments!

lol..uh, that one isn't my house. I wish!

But I do have the same colors

waiting for the weather to cool down to tackle all the tree trimming. the oranges are ridiculous.

I had the tile roof redone last year w/the charcoal cement spanish tiles.

I like yours even better. Most houses here in Florida are not architecturally appealing.

well, trust me, every house on this block looks the same. I'm one of the few who have done a diff color roof and wood color doors. every other house is beige and brown.
