Comments (6)I thought of you yesterday as I was perusing a home remodeling catalog in Walgreens. I read your post the other night. There was a home with red brick similar to yours, and the colors they chose were stunning giving the home a historical look. They painted the windows (not the trim) the same red that matches your brick (your windows are currently white). You could also use this stain color on your cedar shake. The trim around the windows and on the rest of the house was a nice goldish color. The body of the house was a neutral beige/cream color (something that you'd find on a meditteranean home), they had the posts in their entry way also painted this cream color - "missouri" above mentioned sand or clay tones, I think this is the same idea. The red on the windows was a really nice contrast to the gold trim. I don't have the actual colors - they didn't list them - but you could play around with them a bit to find nice complimentary tones. The magazine was a bungalow and period home renovation magazine - new this month at Walgreens. They showed before and after pictures. What I would absolutely NOT do is paint the brick, especially considering you have the old style charm of the cedar shake - it would be a mix mox of old style and modern. I think this would take away from the character of your home, not to mention the fact that if you don't like it, it's not an easy fix. You also have to look at the resale value of your home. I would not personally purchase a home with painted brick, but that's just me, so I think you'd be limiting your potential buyers. Nice home by the way. When you are finished with all your renovations, it will look quite quaint. Good luck!...See MoreNeed Help with Capitola, Ca Beach House Exterior Paint Colors

Comments (5)We can all fire ideas but you need an architect, a landscape architect and an interior designer. To me the first thing that throws of beachy is that dang driveway........and that whole garage is a mess. I would remove that and have it be separate from the house build a Casida on top of it. with a breezeway. all the giant roman columns.........yuck lol. I think removing the would bring back some symmetry.............See Moremariapia47
