Gk5040 - Cute kids! Thanks for posting that pic. I really like the color of the door. That's actually more of the color of my roof. It's not a black black. I tried to find a picture online last night to better represent the color but it their website was giving me fits. It's Tamko the heritage series. Color is Black Walnut. At this point I'm leaning more towards the SW color I believe. I could probably handle a pop of color but think I'm going to have a harder time convincing DH. I know he'll say it "doesn't match." Which is the point but he's a boy.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!! Thank you, all of you!!!! My son borrowed my computer for the evening, so I missed the spectacular unfolding of all of those door colors. I absolutely LOVE looking at the different colors. Each one changes the whole look of the house so much. What a wonderful resource you all are. I am humbled, thank you. At first glance I am loving the plummy-grey brown. It satisfies my urge for a red door, while incorporating the beige of the house and the brown shutters AND the grey roof. Brilliant. Oakleyok, you suggested a wreath. Great minds! I had a lovely spring wreath on the door, but the birds decided they wanted to use it for nesting material. We were treated to a constant scrabbling noise as they tried to remove the twigs from the wreath -- so I had to temporarily take it down. Right now it's hanging on the INSIDE of the door. Thanks again, everyone! I will tell you what we decide, and then post more photos later. -- Maureen

What about a bright periwinkle to play off the hydrangea? I think a buttery yellow might also look nice.

What a charming house!!!! I actually like the dark green (that's what it looks like on my screen). I'd enlarge the shutters so they actually look like they'd fully cover the windows. As for colour, either keep the green or pull a colour from the stone - looks like granite fieldstone so should have lots of options.
