Hi all we are considering painting our home.
We actually quite like the reddish brick, however, realize it could be updated.

The bottom storey is brick and the 2nd storey is wood panelling.
Would it look weird to have the two differwnt materials painted the same color?

We are considering painting the house white, however the windows are a cream color. Im not sure is this would look off?
We like the black front door and want to keep the shutters, considering paiting the shutters a dark green as opposed to the typical black and white.

Finally we would are considering putting up a white picket fence too. Keen to get some thoughts and opinions.

Thank you in advance.
