I have removed all shrubs in the front. The front door is set back and hard to see but same stain as the shutters. And the stone is the same on both sides of the garage. I have no idea of paint colors and was wondering if i should do a trim contrast? The gutters along the house match the shutters as well.

Wow thanks for the input, guys! While I think the green works, it's just not my thing. I have played with gray browns, taupes, and think they look nice. I definitely want to stay with neutral earthy tones but I'm not feeling the green. I am also conflicted about the tudor-style, or board and batten, trim. Do we paint it the same color as the siding to reduce the busy look, and perhaps paint only the perimeter trim a different color? This was a question our painter asked because it's sort of in style right now. I think the beige garage door is what irks me the most. We did consider a new garage door but decided against the cost of it for now. Our painters are coming by with some taupes and dark brown samples tomorrow, so keep the ideas coming!

I'd prob paint the stucco a soft creamy and do a dark trim. (did you have the pressure on too high? did it damage the stucco? if so, you'll have to get it patched before painting. not too sure about those shutters. they look too small. if you must use them, they and get more authentic looking ones for a spanish style look Try Shoji White and Urbane Bronze (SW) dig away the grass against the foundation and do some flower beds. see this flower bed? notice the brick and shutters are almost the same as yours. look at what the flower bed like this does for the look of the house. just dig out the grass agains the house and thrown down some dark mulch and a few shrubs Spruce up the landscaping and whatever paint color you choose will be a huge improvement. Paint alone isn't going to fix the curb appeal. get a colorful ceramic pot w/a nice plant and place it under the light plants w/these colors would look nice w/the brick bring in an address plaque something like either of these. or do some vertical numbers on the right side of the door here are some other creamy whites and darker trim colors. grab some samples. Some other combos of colors if you want to use the red w/the white/dark trim color. Your landscaping (or lack of it) plays a huge role in the overall look. get some flowerbeds/plants of some type. for the side of the house, do something low maintenance like the pebbles and cement path, and the simple plants grown along the side of the house

Hi, different colors Go well in different parts of the country. Colors that look well in the desert don't look good in the Northwest, Drive around your area and if you see something you like maybe copy it. Just make sure it isn't Next door Good Luck Woodbutcher
