"Photo's of House"

Tudor is not really a style that is common in this area, and most of the ones I've seen are the standard white and brown. Here's a few pics I found on Google: Might be white, but appears creamy yellow: Might be real brick, but a brick like colour might be nice (I can't figure out how to make this pic a little smaller, sorry): This one looks dark taupe-grey with cream trim: Although the same house in different lighting appears almost green: This one looks like a reddish-cedar trim: This one is very light and bright: Hmm - Reverse Tudor? I think lighter coloured trim with a darker wall looks a little more Arts and Crafts than Tudor, but is still nice: Carrie

I'm sure it will not hurt your feelings if I confess I like the bottom of your house much more than the upper. I would want to draw the eye more to the pretty details on the ground floor and away from that large gable. I made the upper a darker color and trimmed your landscaping. I can see that you love to garden but only ugly houses need to be completely hidden by plants. Show off your pretty brick. I love the soft contrasts in the brick colors. The other features I thought needed more contrast. I would use brighter trim. You don't have to tear down the timbering but just paint it the same as the stucco. I'm not a pro so my images are crude. Use your imagination.

Thank you for all the comments! I honestly defaulted to a Black roof because I did one on our last house and it looked stunning, and 'Black goes with everything!' right? Alright, now I need to rethink my roof color. Attached are the HOA Approved roof colors, and a close up of my brick. I am leaning to deleting the Slanted boards, so there are only the vertical and horizontal ones. If the HOA noticed, I can always have them put back up, but I have noticed a few houses in the neighborhood who have removed some of their boards. Attached is my attempt at visual of them deleted... I am not a pro! Also - I can paint my garage door and front door too! (Just can't paint the windows, haha). I want it to look cohesive, and appreciate all the input! Edit: And whole new fence will be going in next year when we re-grade the backyard. I agree it is very unsightly!
