Check out the paint on these homes: http://www.paintlinepaintingcompany.com/#/photos/4538771671 These are houses built in Charlotte, buuuut I think the idea is the same :)) There are a lot of different colors you can go with, maybe scrolling through those pics will give you a good idea.

Really nice renovation. Yes, paint that brick and lower concrete same color as the board and batten. Agree with houssaon and then relax and enjoy. Very nice home! You did a great update job!

How about jazzing up the landscaping? You could use a fabulous and well chosen tree (Crape myrtle? Japanese maple?) that matures at about 20-30 ft, with 3 seasons of interest, anchoring the right front corner -but placed appropriately distanced from the house- and a complimentary but smaller showpiece shrub or small tree on the left. Add a bit of landscaping deeper into your front yard and you might have the pizzazz you you’re looking for.

Have you taken a look at what colors and color placement this type of house would have had? Not to do an exact reproduction necessarily, but just to inform you what the design intention was, and following that will get you better results rather than just randomly applying different colors in different places. This is a great site which illustrates what I mean - note there are 34 pgs of the befores/afters (links on bottom of page). Oddly by switching to a more historically accurate pallette, the house often looks so much fresher than had they stuck wtih boring greige or whatever the current fad du jour is. As the saying goes - what's old is new again! ETA - take a look at the 1916 brick at the very bottom of pg 1 - is this kinda what you are after? Red brick with what looks like hague blue + a cream -beautiful!!! Exterior Paint Color Portfolio Archives - OldHouseGuy Blog
