What surfaces can you paint and what things are off the table (for instance vinyl windows are best left alone)

Thanks, @HALLETT & Co.! Really anything can be painted, so long as HOA approves - soffit, facia, siding, even brick! We will likely update the porch railing too, or remove it. I'm in agreement that windows are best left as they are, but that's really the only thing that comes to mind as being left alone.

The siding and garage color isn't helping the house. I would look at deeper taupe or warm charcoal colors, or maybe a deep olive green to blend with your landscape.

Thanks for the ideas, @calidesign!

I meant to ask in the beginning. What is your style?
What inspires you? What are your colors? ...
I was trending toward tranditional maybe a splash of farm. But it doesn’t have to be that

*traditional

@HU-187528210 I appreciate your thoughtfulness! We are very open to the style - modern, transitional, traditional. In the end, I don't want to push something that won't work with the existing features. This home is located in Colorado but I'm from Louisiana and Georgia and love the southern influences. I tend to lean toward neutral palettes. I like a polished appearance that's not contrived (if that makes sense!).

@HU-187528210 I also love your idea for a dutch door! That would add great character. Removing some rocks would help too - thanks for those pointers!

Hi Ann, I just wanted to say the brick is one of the nicest features of the house. It's hard to tell for sure on my screen. Is the roof more brown or gray?

If it appeals to you, a gray/green shade can work nicely with brick, too.

Thank you, @chloebud! You suggest a beautiful option I hadn't considered. The roof is a little more gray than the picture displays.

Ann, a little more gray is a good thing with the brick.
