I think you need to stick with darker or cooler colors. Beige and green don't go with light gray too well. I'd try a blue gray color with the white trim, or I think maybe even paint the house white and have dark gray trim with black shutters. How old is your roof? If it needs to be replaced soon, maybe you can just hold off and repaint once you get a new roof. Just remember to not get a roof in a trendy color - go with a dark brown or a very dark gray - goes with everything.

I would NOT add faux stone to your home. Painting the blue out with a darker gray or even a sage color would enhance your home. Do consider either painting your garage doors the same color as the new siding color you choose. Or go in the opposite direction and add the cedar look garage doors to coordinate with the cedar on your future (very lovely) home.

Looks good. Now is a good time to hand prune. Get in deep to encourage new growth near the base. I would aim to keep the azaleas height to just about even with the porch so all of the railing is visible. I would bring down the bushes on the left halfway between the bottom of the window and the top of the brick. Again open up pockets on top so light gets in and encourages new growth. I am also a stickler for my own property to keep at least a foot of open space around the house. That means I do a bit of pruning every year to keep plants from touching the house. The only plant that seems to big is the one to the left of the steps. Maybe you can relocate it. Love your house and, once again, well done on the colors!

trying to decide on brick color...the first pic is all one color which is the original before photo. Then there is a whitewash look or another pic where we painted the mortar between the bricks..Need some advice..the dark brown color on the trim will go around windows and garage door and the siding will be a softer white creamy color
