Comments (19)Just remove the shutters and see how that looks. I don't think painting windows with black is going to enhance the house--just adds another element and you do have a brown roof, not black. A much warmer white for the middle would work better with yellow stone and brown roof. Save $$$ for a beautiful landscape design to further beautify the house. But what you have is pretty nice right now. It's important in a newly purchased house to go a year before making landscaping changes so you can see how the plantings look in all seasons. It's great you have quite a few evergreens for year round color--and no leaves to rake!...See MoreNeed help picking exterior color for 1950's split level
Comments (7)I agree that your style of home is not meant to be stark white all over. There are a few orange-brick homes with gray trim, gray garage doors in my area. Looks really good. Mid-range gray for trim and slightly lighter shade for doors, shutters, etc. Gray would like great with your yellow front door. I like the look of the back of your house, without the shutters. You might not need them on front. Much as I love trees, I tend to agree about removing the one birch that is in the center of the picture, but I'd keep the other birch at the side....See MoreExterior Split Level Help!
Comments (5)IMO the siding color is all wrong with the brick and no to painting the brick. Do you mean you are adding to this house or plannng on building a new bigger home. I like this color with brick and I do not think this house suits a front porch. But some better landscaping for sure .Not sure waht is going on with Houzz this AM but it won't let me add a picture but the color is a nice grayed green that really compliments the brick I never like grays or blues with brick...See MoreSplit Level exterior remodel help
Comments (1)I think a nice dark gray for siding there is lots of gray in that brick. IMO gutters are not design elements so best when the match the roof or the siding . I think I would do the window trim the same dark gray. Then go to work on the landscaping ....See MoreK Laurence
