Generically, I would stay away from any yellow/brown/oranges in your paint color scheme. Personally, I think the dark trim scheme works against you. It would be better if the house body color were a medium tone and the trim much lighter, all the way to white even. Agree with all those who've said to remove the stripes. They give a mobile home vibe to the house. Can't tell details of what's going on now with the tiny picture. In the future, try slightly overlapping pictures (larger ones!) that show a wide view scene, that is centered on the front door. To be sure, create a large landing for the stoop. Pull the walk away from the house (6', 8', 10'...?) in order to allow adequate space for a nice foundation planting. In most cases, in order to preserve planting bed possibilities, it makes sense to direct the walk toward the back of cars parked directly in front of the garage. It is very little difference in the distance to the car door, but the presentation from the street view is much improved.

hi im a third generation stucco plasterer from north west canada. i dont have alot of time to give you advice but when i came across you problem i felt compeled to respond. so here you go , any loose stucco should be chipped away leaving the paper and wire on to tie into when you add more wire. do not attempt to put another 3 coats over the exsisting stucco. add the base coats twice if nessasary 3 times to make a level surface making the whole wall flat. let it cure. the longer the better, even a year would be ok. very important part of stucco contractors skip is flood the wall after application before it cures and repeat often cement will cure harder under water.. then skim it all again with base and apply finish as usually done on a new job. you may need to strip off paint depending on weather its 10 coats, if it is then striping may be to difficult. if the paint is flaking off then yea wash. if it seems to have good bond perhaps if you hit it with a rotery wire brush you wouldnt need to get it all off because you will wash it then use welbond. this is a glue that is mixed with water and rolled on and or added straight to the mix .look for me on facebook @ armor exteriors and stucco solutions . i hope that was helpful

We recently had a similar debate on our home. I would caution against painting over the stucco and timbers with one color, it might just look "lazy". There are a few homes in our neighborhood that chose that and honestly it doesn't look great. Do you think power washing the brick would make it much lighter/any lighter? Also if you stick with the Tudor look you might consider widening the timbers. There are some great options posted above!

I would check into the Hardie panel siding and see if you can get something that matches. If not, then lap siding. A small deck for a table and chair would look nice. Take off the shutters. The windows are not right for them. A gray blue on the door would look good.
