Well -- it honestly depends on whether or not you want the house to "stand out" from the garden or blend in .... you could consider a darker color -- like gray or even an olive green! Or a simple fresh white! My little house (with its horrible orange-toned brick) has olive-green-painted siding with my black front door (and black plant pots filled with herbs! LOL!) Just a thought! I do love the gray house pictured above! Any chance that you could post some photos? :) Jan at Rosemary Cottage

I love your selections...I actually really like stained wood with classic marble finishes. I think it's classic and beautiful. Would you mind sharing your sources? I really love many of them. Just a thought....we recently gutted our master bathroom, with marble countertops, and shower pan floor. While it's gorgeous, I'll never do marble in the shower again. You can't bleach it! We have cleaners come every two weeks, and I clean a bit in between, but it's hard to keep the grout clean without bleach....just something to consider. I think it would be great in a guest bathroom that will not be used often.

Take a look at the photos of my house. My house was painted with Behr Marquee paint colors Taupe Tease for the main color; Superior Blue for the trim; and Fire Cracker for the doors. It is recommended that you choose 3 colors for your house instead of two. My hubby will eventually paint our white downspots the same color as the house.I chose this color combination after thinking about my green roof and red brick chimney. I did not want to choose colors that would clash with them. BTW--I love my red doors!

sage greens work well, the shutters could go, or be replaced a bit larger. the front door needs to be a pop since its set back, maybe a blue tone. soft yellow trim is nice with this combo
